Bears' Houston: Elliott's crop-top suit 'disrespectful'

Chicago Bears pass rusher Lamarr Houston is "irate" over the crop-top suit Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott wore on the red carpet before the NFL draft.

"I think it's kind of disrespectful," Houston said Tuesday on ESPN's SportsNation. "The half-shirt at the draft? I mean this is a traditional thing."

Disrespectful to whom?

"Everybody who's ever been to the draft. I was there. I hate wearing suits. I dressed appropriately for the draft."

The attire, inspired by the midriff-revealing way Elliott wore his jersey at Ohio State (which was later banned by the NCAA), made headlines on draft night, with most finding it a fun tribute to one of Elliott's former trademarks.

The good news for Houston and others bothered by Elliott's draft-day attire? The NFL has strict rules governing how players wear their uniforms, so Elliott won't be permitted to show off his belly on an NFL field.
