Jordan Elliott | Missouri
Height: 6-4 Weight: 302
Elliott played in six games as a reserve at the University of Texas before he transferred to Mizzou. As a redshirt sophomore, he recorded 24 tackles (eight for loss) and three sacks in 13 games. Elliott’s junior campaign was more to his liking. In 12 starts, he led the Tigers with 10 TFL in 44 total tackles on his way to second-team Associated Press All-American honors.
At Missouri, Elliot recorded 48 solo tackles, 20 assists, 16.5 TFL, 5.5 sacks, four passes defensed, and a fumble.
Elliott is unusual in that he played in excess of 325 lbs. for most of his collegiate career before he slimmed down to 302 for the NFL Combine. Although it has helped his quickness, he isn’t as stout at the point of attack. Elliott’s diversity in schemes could help him earn starter status in his second season, if not his first.
