While dodging defenders across the gridiron every Sunday afternoon often comes with ease for him, off the field issue seem like the only thing Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott cannot to break tackles from, as the repercussions from an altercation involving Elliott at a music festival weeks ago now brings an unexpected blitz into the reigning running champ’s summer.
Although the event which lead to on–sight police detaining Elliott occurred over a month ago, it took until this week for Elliott to meet with NFL commissioner Rodger Goodell to discuss the situation.
