Ezekiel Elliott's father, Stacy, relayed a message on Instagram Tuesday asserting his son is not a domestic abuser.
"A few things I know about this young man I raised is, he isn't NO abuser of women and HE gets better under pressure!" Elliott wrote. "Adversity makes RISE above whatever YOU think is great! He will be known when it's OVER the #goat! The greatest to EVER do it!"
Elliott, 22, recently finished serving a six-game suspension after the NFL conducted a year-long investigation into allegations that he assaulted his ex-girlfriend, Tiffany Thompson, on multiple occasions in July 2016.
