"CSU's DeAndre Elliott was one of the top performers among cornerbacks in several physical tests Monday at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis.
Elliott, 6-foot-1 and 188 pounds, had the second-best vertical leap of 41 inches, just a half-inch below Florida State’s Jalen Ramsey.
He also finished second among the 37 cornerbacks participating in the combine in the 20-yard shuttle run with a time of 3.93 seconds – just a hundredth of a second slower than Temple’s Tavon Young.
Elliott also turned in top-10 performances in the standing broad jump, finishing sixth at 10 feet, 3 inches, and in the three-cone drill, finishing eighth in 6.93 seconds.
Television coverage of the event on the NFL Network showed Elliott running his 40-yard dashes in 4.54 and 4.44 seconds, but his official time went down as 4.55 – 23rd among the cornerbacks.
Elliott, who could not be reached for comment, also participated in other agility drills with the cornerbacks, under the watchful eye of scouts from all 32 NFL teams.
Elliott started 11 games for the Rams as a senior in 2015. He intercepted two passes, broke up four others, blocked a kick and was in on 32 tackles. He finished his CSU career with seven interceptions, including one that he returned 76 yards for a touchdown, 27 pass breakups, two fumble recoveries and 124 tackles.
The Dallas native is projected as a free-agent signee by most NFL draft analysts, meaning he won’t be selected in the seven-round draft April 28-30 but will instead sign with a team after the draft in hopes of making the roster during training camps this summer.
Elliott was one of two former CSU players participating in this year’s NFL Scouting Combine. Receiver Rashard Higgins, also a Dallas native, went through his on-field workouts Saturday. Higgins, who is projected as a third- to fourth-round draft pick, ran the 40 in 4.64 seconds, bench-pressed 225 pounds 13 times, had a vertical leap of 32 inches and went 9-8 in the standing broad jump."
Here's what Roto had to say.

"At the NFL Combine, Colorado State CB Deandre Elliott tested out in the 95th percentile of Rotoworld contributor Zach Whitman's SPARQ system.
Elliott tested very well -- he's got speed for days -- and is over 6-feet with 32-inch arms. Pete Carroll, did you hear that? Elliott came into the event projected as a UDFA by NFL Draft Scout, but corners that big, rangy, fast, athletic and long-armed rarely get out of Day 3. Expect to see him get popped late in Day 3 by a team that will gamble on its coaching staff. Cough. The Seahawks. Cough. Cough. Sorry, it's a bit drafty in here. By here, I mean in this text box. And by drafty, I mean we're ending this blurb with a pun party."
Maybe he's "the guy".
