The NFL.com comparison for Israel Abikanda is Pacheco. Bootleg football compared him to "Tyler Allgeier with a jetpack" and "Raheem Mostert pounding creatine shakes". He might be a bit of a sleeper in the draft.

I'm already prepared to flip out when the Bengals miss out on Tyjae Spears. God forbid they pass on him, that'll really set me off.

Chris Simms just released his top 5 running backs. We covered all five of them here.

Not bad, someone will draft him in round 5 and be happy with him. He's got quick feet that allow for cutting and juking, good contact balance, and a good receiver out of the backfield. I like his effort. Doesn't have that top-end speed nor is he a power back, but he gets the job done.

Definitely a quality 4th to 5th round pick. Doesn't have top-end speed, but looks great in space and can catch the effectively. I wonder what more coaching could do to him.

His blocking will hold him back. He gets bowled over by defensive players despite a good effort. Hopefully, he can improve on that.

Thank You Dude.

sure would like to have him as my 3rd back
No problem. I did the projected 1st to 3rd rounders first -- those have the highest percent chance of getting onto a roster. I see Vaughn very similiar to Sproles - play backup and be used as a special teamer.
