ORLANDO, Florida - There is really only one thing harder than sitting around waiting for a phone to ring. That has to be sitting around waiting for a phone to not ring. That was Kevin Elliott’s predicament Friday night as NFL teams began cutting their rosters down to the 53-man minimum by the 9 p.m. deadline.
Elliott, the former Orlando Colonial High and Florida A&M standout, has been working as a free-agent wide receiver in the Jacksonville Jaguars camp ever since being signed by the Jaguars one day after the NFL Draft in April.
He had an extremely strong preseason camp, during which he had two touchdown catches in preseason games, including a 77-yarder against Atlanta on Friday night. Then it was time to wait. The Jags told Elliott that if he didn’t hear his phone ring by 9 p.m., Saturday, he was safe. The problem was, his phone kept ringing. And ringing.
“Ah man it was crazy,” Elliott said of hearing his phone ring constantly Saturday night as the hours ticked away.
