**4\. He played his college ball at the University of Florida.**
Elam appeared in 35 games (with 27 starts) during his three years with the Gators, tallying 79 tackles, 26 passes defensed, six interceptions and 2.5 tackles-for-loss.
He was a First-Team All-SEC selection in 2020 after leading Florida in passes defensed (13) and picks (2), establishing himself as one of the top corners in the nation. Elam then battled a knee injury during his final season in school, but despite missing three games, he still logged six passes defensed and an interception in 10 games.
**5\. Elam has some impressive NFL bloodlines.**
Elam is the son of Abe Elam, who played eight seasons in the NFL from 2005-12 after entering the league as an undrafted free agent. His uncle, Matt Elam, also logged a significant career in the NFL after hearing his name called in the first round of the 2013 NFL Draft, ultimately playing four seasons for the Baltimore Ravens from 2013-16.
Kaiir represents a continuation of that impressive familial legacy, and now a member of the Chiefs, Elam will have an opportunity to make his mark in Kanas City.
