Deshon Elliott thought he would go much higher than he did in the 2018 NFL draft. Instead, he was picked in the sixth-round.
“My draft-day story was actually very upsetting,” Elliott said Thursday. “When I got the call I wasn’t even watching the draft anymore. I was just like, ‘I don’t even care, it’s ball. Wherever I go, I’m going to play regardless.’ But yeah, at this point it is what it is. That’s the past. You just got to start over.”Ravens, Elliott said his draft-day experience can be a lesson for young players waiting to hear their name called next week.
Elliott is expected to play a significant role in the Lions secondary this fall. He and Will Harris should compete for playing time at the starting safety spot opposite Tracy Walker,Elliott exceeded expectations in Baltimore as a sixth-round pick, but struggled to stay on the field. Just 25 years old, he said coming to Detroit is a fresh start and a chance to prove himself once again.
