PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT
Elliss showcases a nuanced approach to pass rushing, utilizing a mix of power and finesse to beat offensive tackles. His ability to set up pass-rush moves effectively makes him a threat on the edge. Despite some limitations in agility and bend, his technique and physicality allow him to be disruptive. Best suited as a standup outside linebacker in odd front schemes, Elliss can immediately contribute as a pass-rusher while potentially developing into a more complete run defender.
CEILING GRADE ANALYSIS
Low-Level Starter Potential (55-59)
A low-level starter potential prospect is a player who is expected to be a lower-level starter or high-level backup with some elite qualities. Development over 2-3 years is anticipated. They have good physical tools and athleticism, and they perform at a high level some of the time. They have some weaknesses, but they are not major. These players are typically sixth- or seventh-round picks, and they have the potential to be starters in the league.
