WATCH: Cowboys' Ezekiel Elliott really needs to work on his baseball swing
At a home run derby, the rushing champ didn't look like a natural at baseball

Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott is really good at a lot of things. He's really good at running with the football -- evidenced by his league high 1,631 rushing yards in 2016. He's really good at hurdling defenders (here's one example). He's really good at wearing crop-top suits.
He is not, however, really good at baseball. At the Cowboys' annual Reliant Home Run Derby charity competition, which benefits the Salvation Army, Elliott struggled when it was his turn at the plate.

In fairness to Zeke, this swing looked a bit better, though it's impossible to see where the ball ended up:

Meanwhile, reigning Offensive Rookie of the Year Dak Prescott experienced a bit more success. Here's a home run:

But, like Elliott, Prescott should probably stick to football, too:

The point being, the Cowboys' young duo is bad at baseball. It's a good thing, then, that they both have some other notable talents.
