Dallas Cowboys running back continues to excel during the 2020 offseason. At the beginning of the pandemic, he and teammate DeMarcus Lawrence made strong donations to the North Texas food bank; with Elliott donating 100% of attire-sale proceeds to the cause.

Elliott was also the first player fellow Ohio State alum Michael Thomas reached out to for the filming of the iconic video that forced the NFL to adopt a more public policy of looking to battle racial injustice. Earlier in the month, Elliott donated just under $100,000 to local families in need, and now he has turned his attention to a local high school.

Elliott released a short video of his trip to South Oak Cliff High School in Dallas, where he spoke to kids, took pictures and signed jerseys. He then went out to a vehicle trunk and emerged with a stock of shoes that he gave away to an appreciative audience.
