Ezekiel Elliott has been a gift for the Dallas Cowboys all season.
In the second quarter of the Cowboys’ game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday night, Elliott rushed for his 13th touchdown of the season, and in one of the best celebrations of the year, donated himself to the Salvation Army.

But of course, the hilarious celebration did not come without consequence.

Not only did fans get a kick out of it, but even the Salvation Army itself appreciated the “donation.”
Nothing like a Zeke being dropped into one of our kettles! @EzekielElliott @dallascowboys https://t.co/8DgRVvk0Xn https://t.co/oXMfsj8RnI

It’s safe to say that the Salvation Army doesn’t have NFL Rookie of the Year candidates dropped into their kettles very often.
