What the analysts are saying

  • "Elliott has good size and is a physical defender who will need to play near the line of scrimmage to take advantage of his aggressiveness and minimize his athletic limitations. Scouts say he loves the game including the work that goes into it so he has a good shot of sticking on a roster as a backup strong safety with immediate coverage ability on kickoffs and punts." - Lance Zierlein, NFL.com
  • "With an ideal combination of size, athleticism, and physicality, Elliott is a well-rounded prospect who can lay the lumber or cover plenty of space." - Luke Easterling, Draft Wire
