In Jim Harbaugh’s first season as head coach at Michigan, his team was defeated 42-13 by Ohio State, and Ezekiel Elliott rushed for 214 yards and two touchdowns. Now Harbaugh is coaching Elliott with the Chargers, and Harbaugh says his own experience tells him how good Elliott is.
Asked if he was familiar with Elliott before signing him this week, Harbaugh reflected on that meeting a decade ago.
“Yeah, like most people who watch football, I’m very familiar with it,” Harbaugh said. “And personally, I have some bruises from the day of the competition against Zeke. It’s great to see him, he’s here and we’re going to start it today.”
Asked why he signed Elliott, Harbaugh said it was because Elliott makes the Chargers better.
“Better is welcome to the Los Angeles Chargers,” Harbaugh said.
It remains to be seen if Elliott is ready to be active and play against the Texans on Saturday, but Harbaugh thinks if the Chargers make the playoffs, Elliott could be a part of it. And he knows all too well what Elliott can do.
