He's not afraid to get dirty in the run game, and is more physical than you may expect. He's got some nice ball skills as well.</td><td>How will Abellard hold up reps wise with a much greater number of receivers than defensive backs?</td></tr></tbody></table></figure> <!-- /wp:table --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
