Nine interceptions, three forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries, and two touchdowns in 26 starts… No, this isn’t a stat line for Earl Thomas. Rather, it’s the stat line for another former University of Texas Longhorns safety, DeShon Elliott.
While far from being the most productive player in college football, Elliott got hotter and hotter with each passing season before electing to move on to the NFL. Unfortunately, Elliott missed his entire rookie season thanks to a fractured forearm, stunting his growth from college to the pros.
Now, DeShon Elliott enter 2019 fully healthy with quite a bit growing hype around the 22-year old safety.
