Rookie Elijah Sarratt has been quiet throughout camp and the beginning of the year, but with both Zay Flowers and Ja'Kobi Lane out, he gets a meaningful opportunity to make an impact.

Round 4, No. 115 overall receiver played 30 snaps in preseason debut, finishing with 6 receptions for 66 yards; route running stood out in isolated situations with convincing head fakes to manipulate defensive backs and create separation; showed toughness at catch point, securing multiple receptions in traffic despite tight coverage; equally effective against zone coverage, consistently working into open areas, presenting himself to the quarterback, and finding opportunities to continue working downfield after the catch; college strengths of route detail, spatial awareness, and ability to finish through contact already translating to NFL.NegativeRoleAug 18, 2026

Fourth-rounder Elijah Sarratt is a long shot for meaningful snaps as a rookie; he didn't play until the fifth drive when Lane, Tez Walker, and LaJohntay Wester were finished, and he fumbled while running after the catch, which hurt his case despite playing a big slot and flanker role that suits his skill set.PositiveRoleAug 8, 2026

Sarratt was targeted multiple times in the National Championship, including on a forced throw where he was double covered on a pylon route with the safety coming over the top to help the cornerback in trail position.

He was also targeted on a deeper shot in a mirrored concept where Mendoza initially looked to hit him on a go route before working off that read.PositiveRoleJul 28, 2026
Sarratt was isolated in a one-on-one matchup against a corner with no safety help on a go route into the end zone, where he caught a touchdown pass from Mendoza.

Against Purdue's man coverage, Elijah Sarratt was set up with a one-on-one matchup that Mendoza clearly liked and wanted to exploit. However, the Purdue cornerback played soft-shoe press coverage instead of jamming at the line, staying in Sarratt's hip throughout the route, meaning the receiver was never open. Mendoza forced a back-shoulder pass to Sarratt that was inaccurate and should have been intercepted, with Sarratt forced to play defense to prevent the turnover.
