FISH REPORT Video: Ezekiel Elliott and the Cowboys' 'Wake Up, Zeke!' story

FRISCO - Jerry Jones calls newly-signed Ezekiel Elliott a 'milestone player and person.' But the Dallas Cowboys owner and his staff had to make some other calls, too. Phone calls. Three of them. In the 6 a.m. hour on Wednesday ... to get Zeke informed and into The Star ... and out of bed.

Elliott signed his largest-running-back-deal-in-NFL history contract on Wednesday just in time to join practice here inside The Star for preparation for Sunday's Week 1 game against the visiting Giants.

‘This is a milestone contract, but more importantly, it’s with a milestone person and player,'' Jones said. “We can take this thing to the house with him as the running back. We’ve always known that. There’s no doubt that I’ll go to the mat with Zeke. He’s that important to us.”

So important, as I explain in the above Video Visit with Jim Cramer, that he required a trio of "Wake Up Zeke!'' calls.
