Summary
Keyshaun Elliott is a productive, high-motor linebacker who serves as the downhill "quarterback" of the defense. A former multi-sport standout, he excels as a wrap-up tackler with sideline-to-sideline range against the run. While he provides a physical presence as a gap-shooting blitzer, he is most effective playing downhill rather than dropping into coverage, where his lateral agility and change of direction are more limited.

Bears' Keyshaun Elliott: Chosen by Chicago
The Bears selected Elliott in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 166th overall.
Elliott (6-foot-2, 231 pounds) transferred from New Mexico State to Arizona State in 2024, totaling three-and-a-half years as a starter between both teams and 301 tackles in that span. The 22-year-old's aggressiveness, physicality and ability to stop the run are well-established traits, but the same is arguably true for Elliott's limitations against coverage and his average athleticism. As a rookie in Chicago, Elliott figures to have every chance to prove he's capable of taking a step forward in his development while competing for depth snaps with Noah Sewell (Achilles), Jack Sanborn and 2025 fourth-round pick Ruben Hyppolite.
