Career Totals
DeShon Elliott is rated 87 (Great): production, role and draft slot rank 37th of 263 qualifying defensive backs (outperforms 86% of them). 2026 games count fully, 2025 games half. Same 40-99 scale as college ratings; compare within the NFL.
Production per game depends partly on the offense or scheme around a player, so a player on a weak team can rate lower. Not a betting line. How we rank
