Ezekiel Elliott was not high on a recent live stream, despite what people initially thought.
It hasn’t been the best of months for Ezekiel Elliott. While he’s no stranger to offseason headlines, the star Dallas Cowboys running back has tested positive for the coronavirus, and is being sued for millions after his pool cleaner claimed his dogs attacked her.
Now, some more news has arrived for Elliott and it’s not great whatsoever. The former Ohio State back was on a live stream, but forgot to end things. That would be the only reason to explain why he let the entire world know he was… high?

Ezekiel Elliott wasn’t high on his Twitch stream, that’s not what ‘faded’ means
As you can see in the video above, Elliott said live on camera, “Oh Bro I’m low key faded bro. Oh no, I didn’t even end my stream yet.” This was taken by some to mean that he was high
Whatever he was referring to it was likely more along the lines of exhaustion — not under the influence of a drug. Zeke took to Twitter to clear the air, so to speak.
As for how he’s feeling with the season approaching, there’s nothing faded about what he’ll be bringing to the field.
Last week, Elliott said he was feeling good, but had to wait a little bit longer to work out and prepare for the upcoming football season. The Cowboys will need him if they want to try and go on another deep run in the playoffs. Dak Prescott’s contract drama seems to be subsiding for at least the time being, and new head coach Mike McCarthy is attempting to prove he can create a winner without Aaron Rodgers.
Still, though, maybe next time turn the computer off and do so a little more quietly.
