Steelers Topics: Jalen Elliott Special Teams Study

Of the surprises on the Pittsburgh Steelers initial 53-man roster, S Jalen Elliott was atop that list for many. Today, I wanted to look at his NFL contributions to date.

Drafted in 2020 by the Detroit Lions, Elliott had no snaps in the preseason or regular season his rookie year. The only time he saw the field on defense in the regular season was 2021 with just 92 snaps. The thing that sticks out looking back were four missed tackles, with a poor 33.3-percent missed tackle rate.

Elliott also saw the field in 2021 on special teams, a five-teamer with 138 snaps.
