Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott is dead serious about playing games. The Ohio State star and two-time rushing champion craves competition on the field and off of it, and he has a history of streaming video games, specifically on Twitch. Now he has a stake in the process.
The company eFuse, “Linked-In For Gamers”, gained over 500,000 new members in 2020 and were welcomed with a $6 million dollar pledge from NFL and NBA players Odell Beckham Jr, Chase Winovich, Denzel Ward, Seth Curry, and Elliott, who announced his investment via his Instagram story.
This donation will allow the company to improve its platform and give more gamers an opportunity to show their skills and possibly find their way into scholarships and professional opportunities.
In the ever-growing gaming industry, this investment from Elliott will be important in helping the company reach more up-and-coming streamers. During the 2020, Elliott was amongst a large group of athletes who were streaming video games including JuJu Smith-Schuster and Kyle Long.
