Highlights of new Bears LB Keyshaun Elliott

In the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, the Chicago Bears selected linebacker Keyshaun Elliott with the 166th overall pick.

With this selection, the Bears are adding an athletic player to the middle of their defense. It’s a strange selection for Chicago because of their current depth at the position. However, that’s been somewhat of a theme for all of their selections since day two began. 

While playing at Arizona State, Elliott was known for being a high-effort player on every play, which is a positive in his game. The modern-day Bears like guys who can give a full effort every snap they take. Even being a defensive player, he fits the Ben Johnson mentality.

Check out some highlights from his time at Arizona State:
