Another family with a remarkable display of talent has recently emerged in the world of sports. After renowned names like Brady, Kupp, Matthews, and Kelce’s family, this time the Elliott family has captured the attention of sports enthusiasts and social media users alike. While the NFL star Ezekiel Elliott, a free agent of Dallas Cowboys, has made a name for himself with his electrifying plays on the field, it’s his 17-year-old sister who is now stealing the spotlight.

As recently revealed by their mother, Dawn Elliott, on her social media account, the spotlight is now shining on Aaliyah Elliott, sister of Ezekiel. While Ezekiel has achieved great success on the football field as a running back, being named to the second-team All-America and selected fourth overall in the 2016 NFL Draft by the Dallas Cowboys, it is Aaliyah Elliott who is captivating audiences with her remarkable talents.

While Ezekiel competed at the state level in sprinting and hurdling events and demonstrated proficiency as a track and field athlete, his sisters Aaliyah and Lailah Elliott are also accomplished track athletes who aspire to surpass his achievements. Their mom, Dawn, recently shared an exciting video clip on her social media account, showcasing Aaliyah’s flawless long jump, reaching an impressive distance of 20 ft. Two days ago, Dawn delightedly shared the video clip, accompanied by a caption that read, “Way to go @iamaaliyahelliott!! So proud of you!!!

She also added text on the clip itself, exclaiming, “20ft club. THAT’S MY BABY!” In another post, Dawn captured a heartfelt moment when Aaliyah was overwhelmed with tears of joy after her incredible jump. Dawn’s caption conveyed her deep affection for her daughter, stating, “I love this little girl like crazy. So much talent and she is so hard on herself. I may or may not have shed some tears of joy after that 20’ jump. 🥹🥲… and her jump before that one was every bit of 20’, but she fouled by a toe so it obviously didn’t count. 🤷🏽‍♀️” Fans were quick to join in and celebrate Aaliyah’s remarkable achievement, flooding Dawn’s post with an outpouring of supportive comments.
