Elliott’s mother, Dawn, has more than 20,000 tweets on her account, and pretty much all of them pertain to her son.

The young Cowboys back doesn’t completely disregard her account: “Ezekiel doesn’t have me blocked … he just chooses to not read my tweets. LOL.” But mom knows her tweets are fire, so she sends them to Ezekiel, anyway.

This is a great strategy, because there’s no way Ezekiel is going to ignore a text message from his mother. Saying you missed a tweet is one thing, but you have to check your texts if mom sends a message. There will be hell to pay if you don’t.
