Without question a very accurate assessment of his abilities and projected draft status. The NFL may understand more about Elijah's abilities than we give them credit... but I'm still doubtful. I seriously believe he needs another year, with Hud being a smarter coach, of having an NFL role for the Cajuns. He shouldn't be the ground and pound back. He should be the key feature of a sophisticated run and pass system. If I were Hud, I'd prove to Eli that I'm not a knothead... and I won't just run him into a traffic jam. I'll place him in open space, with intelligent deception, and let him do what he does best... and it will be very much what he'll be tasked with in the NFL. That will help raise his draft stock value.
