Elflein's skill set and measurable traits project favorably to a gap/duo power run game system, emphasizing downhill blocking and physical engagement from the interior offensive line.
He can immediately compete for a starting center or guard spot, with a ceiling as a reliable, tough interior presence capable of anchoring the run game for a decade.
He would not be an ideal fit for an outside zone scheme that requires highly athletic, agile linemen capable of consistently reaching and cutting off backside defenders.
Elflein is a powerful, tenacious interior lineman who projects best to a power-oriented run blocking scheme where his strength and football IQ can be maximized.
Selected #70 overall in Round 3 of the 2017 NFL Draft by Minnesota Vikings out of Ohio State.
