2023 NFL Draft prospect profile - Israel Abanikanda, RB, Pitt

The New York Giants need to add weapons to their offense for 2023. And while that’s generally understood to mean “wide receiver”, they could do with more depth all over their offense.

Even if they re-sign Saquon Barkley, he saw his production drop as his workload increased. Adding another explosive playmaker to the backfield should certainly in consideration for Joe Schoen and the Giants.

Pittsburgh’s Israel Abanikanda emerged as one of the most dangerous offensive weapons in college football in 2022. Generally speaking, unless he was stopped behind the line of scrimmage, there was a good chance he was going to run for a touchdown.
