Ameer Abdullah: The Renaissance Running Back the NFL Needs Right Now

Compare Ameer Abdullah to Warrick Dunn, and Abdullah is likely to give you an earful. 

"I appreciate them," Abdullah said of the Dunn comparisons which he has heard since his junior year at Nebraska. "But any time you try to compare any [rookie] back to another back right now, it's just premature. I see a lot of backs in this draft class compared to Beast Mode or to Adrian Peterson. That's not fair.

"I don't want to prop myself up for failure like that, because if I don't pan out to be a Warrick Dunn then those comparisons would be definitely, outrageously unfair.
