Pat Elflein started his season as the starting right guard for the Vikings, but a lot can change in just a few months.
Elflein went down with an injury. Dru Samia originally filled in, but ended up going down with an injury. After that, the Vikings put Ezra Cleveland in that spot.
With Cleveland well adjusted to his starting role, the Vikings ended up waiving Elflein. Now, Elflein is a member of the Jets. New York claimed him off the waiver wire, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
Elflein was pretty inconsistent in his time with the Vikings, especially after he switched from center to guard. In his one game this year, he looked decent against the Packers.
He has struggled with pass protection in the past, but is good at run blocking. He’s also a decent reserve to have, considering his ability to play both guard spots and center.
