has one of the deepest bags of anybody in this group. Juke move, spin move, truck, a nasty stiff arm that can straight-up embarrass a defender in the open field — it’s all in there, and none of it feels forced. You’ll see him string moves together, too, which is what really separates him. A quick juke to slip the first guy, a spin to escape the next, then suddenly he’s already back up to speed heading downfield. Then you throw in the fact that he’s got legit top-end speed, and now you’re talking about a back who can beat you pretty much any way he wants. If the defense takes a bad angle, he’s gone. If they square him up, he’s strong enough to run through it. And if they try to close space on him quickly, that’s when the footwork starts showing up. The production was ridiculous too, with 1,716 rushing yards, 574 receiving yards, and 38 total touchdowns as a sophomore, which gives you a pretty good idea of just how much stress he puts on a defense every single week. That also tells you something about how much the offense trusts him with the ball in his hands. What makes him especially fun for this kind of conversation is that he’s not just flashy. There’s real feel to his game. He runs with patience, understands how blocks are developing, and has that short-area burst to plant and go the second something opens. When he needs to make a defender miss in tight space, he can do it without gearing down too much, which is a huge deal because a lot of backs lose momentum when they start dancing. Abraham doesn’t. He’s also got the hands to be a real factor in the passing game, and the film shows he’s comfortable catching the ball and adding yards after the catch. Give him space on a swing or a quick checkdown, and the play suddenly feels a lot more dangerous than it probably should be. He’s one of those backs who can make the routine run look exciting and the exciting run look unfair, which is exactly the type of player defenses hate dealing with.
