SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – At 6-foot-3 and 300 pounds, Pat Elflein is no one’s idea of an elf.

But he can play one on TV – or at least Instagram. In a short holiday-greeting video released by the Ohio State football program’s creative media team, Elflein is featured in a spoof of the “Elf on a Shelf” Christmas tradition.

The clip starts with right guard Billy Price walking into the locker room and asking a worker for a jacket. Then he looks to the side and sees Elflein, in full elf costume – and even pointy ears – sitting cross-legged and expressionless on a table.
