Elliott responds to ex-girlfriend's accusations: 'Evil never prevails'

Running back Ezekiel Elliott has yet to speak publicly about domestic violence accusations made against him Friday, but the Dallas Cowboys rookie broke his silence Friday evening via Twitter.

Elliott's apparent ex-girlfriend Tiffany Thompson told police she was abused by the young running back and posted pictures of bruises to her Instagram account.

Elliott reportedly has messages saved to his phone indicating that Thompson threatened to ruin his life if he broke up with her. His father issued a statement earlier on Friday claiming that his son "has done nothing wrong."

No charges have been filed against Elliott, but the case has been sent to the prosecutor's office and the NFL is conducting its own investigation.

Elliott was selected fourth overall by the Cowboys at the 2016 NFL Draft and is expected to play a large role in their offense this season.
