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.
SCOUTING REPORT
Elliss is a promising EDGE prospect with a notable pedigree and a productive college career. His pass rush ability and physicality make him a valuable asset, particularly in schemes that can utilize his strengths while mitigating his weaknesses. With further development, particularly in run defense, he could exceed his current projection as a high-level backup or potential starter. His draft stock as a 3rd-round pick reflects both his current skill set and potential for growth in the NFL.
