With the 54th pick in the 2015 NFL Draft, the Detroit Lions select Ameer Abdullah, running back, Nebraska. The most explosive running back in the draft by some margin, Abdullah is not a fast player, but really looks like one because his acceleration is so super mutant fast that he’s out in the open before defenders even realize he’s gone.
Abdullah is not without risk, however. Despite his ridiculous rushing abilities, breakaway athleticism,
and receiving skills, there are some flaws to his game. Most notably, fumbles. Earlier in the off-season, I said that there were four things the Detroit Lions were looking for in a running back.
