"Yeah, I believe it. Two thousand or more. That's my prediction," Bryant said, . Holy hype, Batman! The platitudes for Elliott's performances have been off the charts. The stats alone are mindboggling. Elliott's 703 rush yards this season are second most by a rookie through the first six games of a year (second to Dickerson's 787).
