Christian Elliss faced multiple cuts in his NFL career before being claimed by the New England Patriots. In the 2024 season, he became a key player, recording 80 tackles and an interception, which led to a substantial free agency offer from the Raiders. However, the Patriots matched this offer, showcasing their commitment to him. With changes to the team's linebacker core and a new defensive scheme under coach Mike Vrabel, Elliss expressed excitement about fitting into the plans and continually improving his skills through this transition.
When I got the call from Eliot [Wolf] it was nothing but excitement, nothing but joy. It's been amazing to be desired by the organization.
I think my skill set fits perfectly within the defense. It fits perfectly within the scheme. There's some stuff I haven't done before, and they're teaching me how to do it.
