Last season, the NFL produced many funny moments, including Ezekiel Elliott getting pummeled during the NFC divisional round.

During Dallas' final offensive play, while trying to pull off a trick move to score on the San Francisco 49ers, Elliott lined up as the center.

He snapped the ball off to quarterback Dak Prescott who was in a shotgun formation, while being the only 'offensive lineman' on the line.

As Elliott snapped the ball, San Francisco 49ers linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair ran right through him, forced him to the ground, and caused Prescott to throw the ball early.

Following the season, the Cowboys released Elliott to clear cap space for the 2023 campaign.

Many fans thought Elliott's snap under center was one of the funniest moments of the year and poked fun at the Cowboys for the play that they drew up.

Here's how fans reacted:

Ezekiel Elliott shouldn't be remembered by the last play of his career with the Dallas Cowboys

While fans will remember Ezekiel Elliott's last play as a Dallas Cowboy, it shouldn't be their only memory of him.

Elliott was the Cowboys' first-round pick in the 2016 NFL Draft and lived up to expectations. He led the league in rushing yards his rookie season with 1,631, while scoring a career-high 15 touchdowns on the ground.

He would go on to have three more seasons with over 1,000 rushing yards, while being named to three Pro Bowls and two All-Pros.

He has rushed for a total of 8,262 yards and 68 touchdowns in his career. He also recorded 2,336 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns.

Ezekiel Elliott is currently a free agent but isn't ready to hang the cleats up. He is expected to join an NFL team at some point before the start of the 2023 season.
