Jordan Elliott NFL Draft 2020: Scouting Report for Cleveland Browns' Pick

Matt MillerApr 24, 2020

DL Jordan Elliott, Missouri

STRENGTHS

—Fights through blockers with leg drive and determination. 

—Gap-shooter with above-average play as a pass-rusher in the SEC. 

—Has the athletic ability to chase down ball-carriers at the line of scrimmage. 

—Heavy hands to punch and drive blockers; good countermoves once the first move doesn't work. 

—Keeps his eyes up while fighting with blockers. 

WEAKNESSES

—Weighed in at 315 lbs at Missouri but 302 lbs at the combine; needed to add more strength, not athleticism. 

—Strictly played on the interior at Missouri; doesn't offer as much position/scheme versatility as other players at his position. 

—Struggled to disengage from powerful blockers. 

—Gets gassed as the game goes on. 

OVERALL

A natural athlete who stood out even against SEC offensive linemen with his quickness, Elliott has a high ceiling but comes into the league with a lower floor than other top prospects. Getting him into position to dominate with quickness in gaps will aid in his NFL success early on.

GRADE: 83

PRO COMPARISON: Cameron Heyward/Devon Still
