Ezekiel Elliott signed a one-year deal this week to return to the Dallas Cowboys.

"It was just important to me just to get back here and finish what I started," Elliott said at the team's annual Reliant Energy Home Run Derby fundraiser.

The running back spent the first seven years of his career with the Cowboys. In 103 games, Elliott ran for 8,262 yards on 1,881 carries with 68 touchdowns. He caught 305 passes for 2,336 yards with 12 touchdowns.

"Got unfinished business," he said. "Here to chase the ring."
