Hero in a Half Shirt: The History of Ezekiel Elliott's Trademark Crop Top

'Hero in a Half Shirt'

Ezekiel Elliott took the college football world by storm in 2014, leading the Buckeyes to the first-ever College Football Playoff Title by gutting three consecutive top-10 teams for a combined 696 rushing yards. Ohio State's title run certainly made Elliott a household name, but it also made his game day wardrobe a social media sensation.

Elliott started rolling up his jersey like a crop top as early as the 2014 opener against Navy, but it garnered little attention as the then-sophomore out of St. Louis, Mo. began the season relatively unknown to the college football world.
