Kyle’s Instant Evaluation
Ameer Abdullah is a very interesting prospect. His 40 yard dash time looks pedestrian and likely will make people think less of Abdullah as a prospect; however, he has the skills to succeed at the next level. He has the short area burst that allows backs to get to the second level. He also is a dynamic pass catcher that can make plays on all three downs. The future is bright for this prospect.
