With their last pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, the Saints selected Idaho linebacker Kaden Elliss, son of former Pro Bowl defensive tackle Luther Elliss who had a long career with the Detroit Lions. Coming out of the same neck of the woods as current Saints quarterback Taysom Hill, you might notice some similarities in their stories.
Hill, a native of Idaho who played collegiately in Utah and Elliss, a native of Utah who played in Idaho, don’t have a lot in common outside of some geography. But what they do have in common is an intense, competitive drive and a willingness to do whatever is asked of them.
