Ellerbe ILB Georgia #33 |
| Ht:
6'1
Wt: 236
| |
| Strengths: |
| An impressive athlete. Good quickness
and decent speed. His agility, coupled with his lack of size, allows him to slip
between linemen and get into the backfield. An explosive hitter. |
| Weaknesses:
|
| Undersized. Lacks
the strength to shed blocks with consistency. Inconsistent tackler. Took a step
backwards in production from his junior to senior season. Suffered a sprained
knee in 2008. Already 23 years old. Suspended in 2006 after being arrested on
charges of being a minor in possession of alcohol and reckless driving. |
| Comments:
|
| Ellerbe has the potential
to be a decent backup in the pros. His athleticism could allow him to excel on
special teams, which is key for backup linebackers trying to make an NFL roster.
His recent injuries will cause his stock to fall on draft day, however. He suffered
a torn chest muscle this offseason which limited him at the combine. |
