Former Vandal Kaden Elliss finally had his dreams come to fruition on Saturday, being drafted to the New Orleans Saints in the seventh round of the 2019 NFL Draft — the first Vandal to be drafted since Korey Toomer in 2012.
During his senior year, Elliss led Idaho with 16 tackles for loss and seven sacks, a career high for the outside linebacker. Elliss was named to the All-Big Sky First Team in his senior year and finished fifth all-time in Vandal history with 47 tackles for loss.
The Vandal standout will follow in his father Luther’s footsteps and have an opportunity to play under the bright lights of the National Football League.
