Ezekiel Elliott stole the show on the NFL Draft red carpet with a bold suit selection Thursday evening in Chicago.
He wore a crop top dress shirt under his powder blue suit jacket, and his abs subsequently blew up social media.

The NFL Draft has become a notorious venue for NFL hopefuls to showcase flashy or sometimes bizarre suits -- but showing the midriff is seemingly uncharted water.
He made the cut-off look famous in his football uniform at Ohio State, where he had an illustrious career that included almost 4,000 rushing yards, 43 rushing touchdowns and a national championship.
Elliott was widely regarded as one of the top prospects in this year’s draft, and the buzz had crescendoed in recent days that he could be the Dallas Cowboys’ pick at No. 4.
Dallas did select Elliott at No. 4 -- and, in what was probably a wise move, the former Buckeye tucked in his dress shirt for his walk onto the stage.
