The Facts: Elliott has been involved in a slew of off-the-field nonsense, most notably a domestic abuse case that the NFL has been investigating for almost a year. Appearing on SiriusXM Fantasy Sports Radio, ESPN's Adam Schefter hinted that discipline may be coming Elliott's way. "I would just say this. It is definitely a factor," Schefter said when asked if he would draft Elliott. "If I were drafting today, I would be hesitant to (draft him)."
Diehards Line:
Schefter conceded the situation has gone back and forth many times. But he added, "I’ve spoken to some people within the league who, during the course of the offseason, got a sense that some form of discipline could happen. ... And then a decision that many people thought would come before the start of the July 4th weekend on Friday when the NFL usually makes a lot of decisions, hands down some news, I was told that was being pushed back." Elliott has been under investigation by the NFL for 11 months now, stemming from an incident, or rather a pattern of alleged abuse over the span of several days in July of 2016, in which Elliott's girlfriend filed a report with police. "Nothing may well happen there, but something could happen there," Schefter said. "We just don’t know right now. It’s just sort of out there. ..." It's something we'll all watching closely.
