I’m no scout. But I like what I see in Devine Ozigbo from Nebraska. It’s not quite the feeling I had when I watched Dalvin Cook play at Florida State in 2017, but it’s nonetheless one of enthusiasm.
Where Cook was a star, busting games open with his vision, wiggle, and burst, Ozigbo is a role player, a runner without such razor-sharp talent, but with a much bigger frame, more power and a head for improvement as an offensive weapon.
The Minnesota Vikings have now met with Ozigbo twice. With but a cursory examination of his experience with Nebraska head coach Scott Frost’s zone-run offense–very similar to what Gark Kubiak is establishing in Minnesota now–Ozigbo is a fit with a bullet.
