Faulk said this about Zeke via Sportsday:

“Obviously, we all have to grow up in life and make mistakes, and sometimes some of those mistakes cost you dearly. It’s another thing of just understanding the magnitude of what’s around you and how things are. We’re not talking about a kid who is dumbfounded and doesn’t know.”

Faulk added:

“It’s not just about making the right decision, but when things start to go wrong knowing when to walk away. I say this to him often, this platform and this stage that you’re on, it’s bigger than you think. The Cowboys, the [NFL], it’s bigger than Zeke. Sometimes it doesn’t seem fair. We all want it to be fair, but sometimes it’s not.”

Elliott, 22, was accused of domestic violence by a woman claiming to be his ex-girlfriend, Tiffany Thompson, in July 2016. Since then, Zeke has responded to the recent news of his 6 game suspension, calling it BS.

Do you agree with Faulk and what he thinks Zeke needs to do?
