Rookie Jayrone Elliott is no longer just 91





"Do you usually take a walk around, they're like," what is 91?', "said Elliott, his jersey number. It is Saturday in St. Louis. Before four in the fourth quarter, Elliott fired RAMS third quarterback Austin Davis three times, Grope for the third time. Maybe this will be regarded as the most productive recently Packers pre-season history is short. The entire pre-season so far, the draft of the University of Toledo played only 14 free agent shooting game, but is the only three bags of NFL players. The three Clay Matthews and Julius Peppers combined. "Then they began to call my name, call me Sackmaster, "Elliott said." This is just a funny joke with clay and Pep, because you know chili won't really talks, so to hear him speak is very interesting. "Matthews, not only with Eliot, he talked about his Monday." I heard that he started this weekend in front of me, "joked. Matthews will not happen this week, when the packer may play defensive beginners at least the first half of Friday's preseason game against the Oakland Raiders team. But it may occur in the Kansas city chiefs last pre-season on August 28, when ted Thompson, general manager and coach mike McCarthy will be their last chance to see talent. "He's just a young man that's really taken advantage of pretty much every opportunity he’s been given," McCarthy said. "I was excited to see him have success." If Elliott was unknown to most in the locker room, that wasn't the case in Thompson's office. His scouts identified Elliott as a prospect coming out of the Mid-American Conference and brought him in for a pre-draft visit. Green Bay was the only NFL visit Elliott had before the draft. He said he connected with linebackers coach Winston Moss and two members of the Packers' personnel department, Danny Mock and Chad Brinker, during his visit and even though a few other teams called him after the draft, including the San Francisco 49ers and New Orleans Saints, he chose the Packers' offer, which included just a $5,000 signing bonus. At Toledo, the 6-foot-3, 255-pound Elliott played defensive end for three years in a 4-3 scheme. Before his final year, the Rockets switched to a 3-4. In that scheme, Elliott played outside linebacker in the base scheme but moved inside on third downs. Eliot's the next step is to point to he can beat others rather than Ram backup Sean Hooey, giving up five bags on Saturday. it’s In spite of the MAC, Elliott of the NFL caliber and processing. As a junior, he said he beat Eric fisher's pressure, the central Michigan in a game. Eric Fisher continue to be a scholar. In the 2013 draft. On Monday, Elliott stood on the auxiliary Lambeau field dressing room, talent rookie and practice - squad players change, seems poised his sudden success. He said he received a lot of information after Saturday's game, including some from family members, "he said," crazy think I rushed up to clay Matthews." Matthews, he isn't. But at least packers in All - Pro defender now know that Eliot's name.
