After watching Alabama defenders suffer the wrath of trying to tackle Ezekiel Elliott straight up, the NCAA has come to the rescue, reportedly banning the tucked under jersey look — mad famous by Ray Lewis back in the day.

Elliott and his abs of steel ran all over Alabama and Oregon. Defenders will now have an opportunity to once again scratch and claw at his jersey — rather than suffering the indignity of having to properly tackle the beast from OSU.
Elliott actually explained his reasoning to USA Today before the College Football Chanpionship game, and it had nothing to do with showing off his abs.
“I just don’t like how loose jerseys are at the bottom, so I just tuck it up and roll it,” he said. “I get in trouble for it every once in awhile. I’ll have to come out at halftime, pull my jersey down and tuck it in.”
