Ezekiel Elliott has a new signature chain that represents him in more ways than one. The three-time Pro Bowler with the Dallas Cowboys signed with the New England Patriots this offseason, and he is going back to his old identity, flipping from number 21 to number 15 for his new team.

Elliott's expensive reversible chain
The former all-NFL running back got a head start in spending his $1 million signing bonus from the Patriots by buying this incredible chain. The pendant flips back and forth to change from a number 21 to a number 15, just like Elliott's football jerseys.
It is the newest creation from custom jeweler Gabriel French, whose Instagram page flaunts big-name athlete clients such as Ronald Acuna, Odell Beckham, Jalen Hurts and Davante Adams.
Elliott brings back number 15
The former Ohio State Buckeye gained popularity while wearing the number 15 on his jersey. In college, he ran for nearly 4,000 yards and scored 43 touchdowns in just 35 games. He led Ohio State to the National Championship in 2015, scoring four TDs in the title game.
When Zeke got drafted, the NFL did not allow running backs to wear number 15, so he went with the closest thing. "21 looks like 15 in the mirror," he tweeted before his rookie season with the Cowboys.
Eight years later, the NFL rules have changed.
The Patriots already had a player wearing 21, so that made the perfect opportunity for Elliott to bring back his old mojo. He will wear number 15 this season in New England.
He's got his number back, and he's got the chain to match. The only thing left is to see if Zeke can return to his Pro Bowl level the a backfield alongside Rhamondre Stevenson.
