Ezekiel Elliott Files Trademark for "Zeke's Crop Top Bar and Grill"

Early this morning, the AP ran a decently interesting story about college football stars filing trademarks. While the NCAA has strict regulations about players capitalizing on their likenesses while in college, the trademark is a way for them to prevent others (besides their university administrators and coaches, anyways) from doing so before they’re able. Examples included Johnny Manziel’s “Johnny Football,” Dak Prescott’s “Dak Attack,” and Kenny Hill’s since-abandoned “Kenny Trill.”

And then there’s Ezekiel Elliott:

One could spend hours fantasy booking a menu at such an establishment. In any event, this past March, the NCAA banned players like Elliott from wearing crop-top jerseys, so it remains to be seen if that’s still something the Ohio State running back is known for by the time he’s permitted to lend his name to dining and drinking businesses.
