Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott admitted that he did drugs while at Ohio State and that he still likes to get party and get drunk, according to documents obtained by the Dallas Morning News.
When asked by an NFL attorney this week during his appeals hearing, Elliott affirmed he does "like to party" and did drugs in college.
Tiffany Thompson, Elliott’s former girlfriend who accused him of physically abusing her, told NFL investigator Kia Roberts that Elliott used cocaine and marijuana two months before the Cowboys selected him in the 2016 NFL Draft.

Roberts, however, reportedly did not believe Thompson was a credible witness.
Elliott told NFL investigators that Thompson did drugs, too, including Molly, Xanax and other prescription medications.
The Dallas Morning News also obtained a text message exchange between Elliott and Thompson, in which Elliott appears to be planning how to pass a drug test.
"I'm gonna pass. About to live in this sauna the next 24 hours," Elliott said in a text.
Arbitrator Harold Henderson is slated to rule on Elliott’s appeal of his six-game suspension handed down by the league for alleged domestic violence. But the NFLPA filed a motion for a temporary restraining order on Elliott’s behalf that would put his suspension on hold, and a hearing on that is set for Tuesday.
