Elliott is another big body to pair with Pierce on the defensive line. He might not be a starting-caliber defensive tackle right away, but he could come in for certain packages where the Vikings are emphasizing stopping the run. Elliot could eventually win a starting spot, and if not, he’s a solid defensive tackle in limited situations.
