Undrafted rookie wide receiver Jaylen Smith looked like he was open for a long touchdown from Robert Griffin III when Elliott came out of nowhere. Without making any contact, Elliott laid out to make a diving interception right on the sideline, showing incredible range from the middle of the field.
“He covers a lot of ground. You saw it on that play,” Head Coach John Harbaugh said. “Knows where he is, plays really fast, works really hard. He’s going to make a mark.”
Third-round rookie outside linebacker Jaylon Ferguson flashed his run-stopping potential by bursting into the backfield on one play for what would have been a tackle for loss.
