Overview

The biggest concern with Jordan Elliott is his motor running cold and taking plays off. Effort questions entering the NFL are never a good thing and they are abundant with Elliott.

However, when he is going hard, he can cause problems for offensive linemen, but he simply doesn’t do that every snap. If his motor ran hot for the full game, his production may have been significantly higher. There is a lot of potential with Elliott, but there are the bad habits teams are going to have to work with and fix.
