Colts fan here running through trade deadline options at CB. I was hoping to get info straight from the source to bring back to my people — what is the deal with Kaiir Elam? 2022 1st round pick and is now seems to be getting limited snaps even with a Tre White season ender. Is he just bad?
Most people in Buffalo don’t like him, say he’s a bust, think he’s he has too many penalties.
However, I fell very differently. I think the Bills have done him a disservice by not giving him the reps.
He’s very athletic, kept up with Hill/Waddle I’m terms of footspeed the 2 games last year he played.
If you look at some advanced metrics, he’s actually played well.
He’s not perfect and the game he played this year after not playing at all was against the Jags and Riddley torched him.
It’s really unfortunate and I think this will be (once again) a guy wr trade away and watch him flourish somewhere else.
Here’s a Twitter thread from a local radio station host that shows some of those advanced metrics.
