Elliss pairs with Divine Deablo in a versatile Falcons LB duo, thriving as blitzers, run-stoppers, and coverage players. Their mobility and front-end pressure create consistent tackle opportunities and occasional big plays in Ulbrich’s scheme.

Elliss (neck) limited; his health affects Falcons’ linebacking depth and run/pass defense versatility. If he’s limited, Carolina’s ground game and play-action could exploit gaps, increasing opportunities for Panthers’ receivers and altering Falcons’ defensive alignment.

Elliss named Falcons captain on defense, adding veteran leadership to the linebacker corps and a guiding voice for the unit’s on-field responsibilities and communication.

Kaden Elliss has praised fellow linebacker Jalon Walker, emphasizing the rookie's potential and bright future within the Falcons' defense. His experience and recognition of Walker's talent highlights the importance of young players performing well in training camp.

Kaden Elliss had a breakout season in 2024, recording 151 tackles, five sacks, and his first career interception against Jayden Daniels. He is poised for further success as the Falcons adapt to a more aggressive offensive scheme.
