Pass Rush vs. UCLA

Elliss dominated the Bruins’ tackles. They couldn’t stop him.

Elliss’ best move—the one that will make him tens of millions of dollars if all goes well—is his spin move.

The spin move is the moneymaker, but Elliss isn’t a one-trick pony.

Elliss has fre space to spin inside because tackles respect his speed rush. While Elliss didn’t run sprints at the combine because of the torn labrum, his burst shows up on tape. He can beat a tackle off the line and bend around him to get to the quarterback.

Elliss wins inside, too. He can dip past tackles who are expecting him to charge upfield.

Even when Elliss doesn’t win cleanly inside, he has the power to drive tackles back before slipping inside them.

Elliss put on a clinic against the Bruins. He won nearly every rep. They couldn’t solve him. He finished with 3.5 sacks. He looked like a first-round pick.
