2021 NFL Draft preview: Elijah Molden 5’10 191 DB-Washington
1 min read
Molden earned 2019 Las Vegas Bowl MVP honors after finishing with 9 tackles, 0.5 TFL, FF, and a 31-yard interception return.
Washington’s Elijah Molden takes his footwork as seriously as his father, Alex, did at Oregon before becoming a first-round pick by the New Orleans Saints in the 1996 NFL Draft. Molden is frequently tasked with the tough assignments in the litany of man coverage used by Washington current head coach and former defensive coordinator Jimmy Lake. The former West Lin High School (Ore.) product earned first-team All-Pac-12 honors in 2019 after finishing with 79 tackles, four interceptions and 13 pass break-ups.
