Israel Abanikanda Impresses At Pro Day
2 years agoUniversity of Pittsburgh running back Israel Abanikanda is a sleeper to watch at running back for the upcoming 2023 NFL Draft. Abanikanda rushed 239 times for 1,431 yards (6.0 YPC) during his junior season at Pitt. At his Pro Day, he ran a 4.41 40-yard-dash time at 216 pounds. The 20-year-old running back set a single-game program rushing record when he rushed for 320 yards against Virginia Tech, eclipsing Tony Dorsett's 303-yard day. He presents a rare mix of size and speed and could be a valuable piece of an NFL offense in 2023. If he's drafted before the fourth-round in April, he'll be a riser in 2023 dynasty rookie drafts.
