Lindley Franklin Elliott Jr. (born November 11, 1968) is a former kicker in the National Football League for the Dallas Cowboys and the Kansas City Chiefs. He played college football at Texas Tech. He earned a Super Bowl ring playing for the Cowboys in Super Bowl XXVII, over Jim Kelly and the Buffalo Bills.
Elliott attended Waco High School, before moving on to Texas Tech University. He was a three-year starter and only missed one extra point, while making 40 out 62 field goal attempts, on his way to becoming the school's All-time leading scorer at the time (220 points).
Elliott was signed by the Dallas Cowboys in 1992 as an undrafted free agent, to compete as the replacement for kicker Ken Willis. He started slowly until hitting 13 straight field goals and registering 27 touchbacks, which at the time were both franchise records. He ended up helping the team win Super Bowl XXVII and also led all NFL rookies in scoring.
He was waived after missing two field goals in a 10–13 loss against the Buffalo Bills in the second game of the 1993 season, contributing to an 0–2 start. He was replaced by Eddie Murray.
