The Baltimore Ravens have moved on from Earl Thomas and have thrust third-year safety DeShon Elliott into the starting lineup.
"I respect Earl and his game, but I'm not worried about Earl; I'm worried about me and what I can bring to this team for my teammates," Elliott said. "I know I'm going to make my plays, [and] I know we're going to strive to be great. So, whatever I have to do to do that, that's what's going to happen. Whether it's eight picks, 10 picks or no picks, whatever I need to do to help my team be great and win every game we need to win to accomplish our end goal, that's all I care about."
Elliott was a sixth-round pick in 2018 out of Texas. His first two seasons were marred by injuries.
