And that is so he can pursue an NFL career right out of college. If he is required to sit a year, that could inhibit his development as a future NFL prospect. So that is his best waiver argument. BTW this kid plays the safety position in a very aggressive "read and go" way similar to Troy P. His ability to line up close to the line or back and cover deep is exactly what Elko wants. His tackle of Josh Woods last year says volumes.
