Elliott is very versatile and a great run defender, possessing elite upper body strength that gives him the ability to shed blocks. He is great at controlling gaps and taking up space, giving runners fewer options on where to go. Elliott isn't great at shooting gaps and doesn't finish at times which causes his pass rushing to be worse than his run defending, though he still has some upside in that aspect of the game. Overall, Elliott is a very good run defender and decent pass rusher with upside and he could become a good starter early in his career.
