Jets Snag Explosive Running Back in Pitt’s Abanikanda

The name of the game in today’s NFL is “explosive” which could be a synonym for the name Israel Abanikanda who the Jets just picked up in the NFL draft.

Earlier today we listed Abanikanda as the number one name for fans to be familiar with as day 3 got under way.

The Pittsburgh product joins teammate Carter Warren as the two newest Jets and gives Gang Green a legitimate home run threat from anywhere on the field when he touches the ball.
