The Idaho Vandals may be making a splash in the pros once again with a fan favorite rising in the draft boards.
Former Idaho linebacker and tight end Kaden Elliss is currently projected as a late sixth round pick for the Detroit Lions in the 2019 NFL Draft, according to The Athletic.
If Elliss is picked by the Lions, he would be following in the footsteps of his dad Luther Elliss, who was also drafted by Detroit and spent nine seasons with the Lions.
According to NFL Network reporter Tom Pelissero, Kaden Elliss is visiting the Miami Dolphins on Wednesday and the New Orleans Saints on Thursday.
