Kaden Elliss

Progress may not be linear for everyone, but Elliss' role and production have consistently increased each year that he's been in the league. He took a step forward to lead Atlanta's linebacker corps in 2024, with Troy Andersen limited significantly by a knee injury and Troy Reeder taking a step back in his role. Elliss will now lead a new-look front seven in Atlanta, working alongside Divine Deablo in the middle of the linebacker corps. In addition to being a strong run-stuffer, Elliss' production is unique relative to most middle linebackers for his ability to get after the quarterback, as he has double-digit quarterback hits in two of his last three seasons.
