He is a strong safety prospect best suited for a Cover-3 dominant scheme, particularly one that emphasizes strong run support from the secondary.
Year 1 impact player in the box, bringing physicality on early downs and developing into a versatile strong safety.
Pure single-high free safety systems that demand constant deep-third coverage and light boxes.
Elliott's physicality and tackling prowess make him an immediate asset in run defense within a Cover-3 scheme, though deep coverage skills will need refining.
Relative Athletic Score (Kent Lee Platte) benchmarks combine/pro-day numbers against every measured prospect at the position since 1987. 10.00 is elite; 5.00 is average.
