Ex-Longhorn DeShon Elliott rips Texas coaching staff, alleging private criticism of players who left early for NFL

In a series of tweets Wednesday, former Texas All-American safety DeShon Elliott took the Longhorns' coaching staff to task for criticizing players who had left early for the NFL draft.

"If you really 'loved' your players the way you portray then you wouldn't continually talk bad about them behind closed doors," Elliott tweeted. "Bad mouthing us to our brothers who we played for and cried and sweat for way before you stepped on campus."

If you really “loved” your players the way you portray then you wouldn’t continually talk bad about them behind closed doors. Bad mouthing us to our brothers who we played for and cried and sweat for way before you stepped on campus.
