TAMPA — Javien Elliott's story, remarkable as it may be, isn't nearly over.
He was the long-shot walk-on who earned a scholarship as a senior at Florida State in 2015, starting six games and finishing with 37 tackles.
He was the long-shot undrafted rookie who left a tryout with the Steelers without a contract, but got a look with the Bucs last summer after playing only one season of college football and earned a spot on the practice squad.
He was the unproven player promoted to the Bucs' roster for the final six games of last season, holding his own with 10 tackles in a key role as the primary nickel cornerback.
