Zeke got the same amount for 1 case. This dude has 26 💀

Zeke got 6 games for one accusation that the league's own investigator said wasn't credible. Deshaun getting the same suspension for 24 women he settled with is a slap in the face.

6 games.

Same number of games as Zeke Elliott when the lead league investigator recommended no suspension. https://t.co/3V1ixvWVw4

Watson gets 6gms but Ridley got an entire year….Zeke got 6gms for some bs…league really just all over the place.

Watson will continue to be able to participate in practices and games during the preseason. But he will have to be away from the team during the first half of the suspension after the regular season begins.

Plenty of time to continue this debate.
