  1. The Football Educator's Brandon Thorn states his case for Ameer Abdullah winning Offensive Rookie of the Year as long as a few pieces fall into place. Full article: http://www.thefootballeducator.com/2015-nfl-predictions-offensive-roy/ Detroit’s offensive line is a formidable unit that ranked 14th overall by ProFootballFocus.com in 2014. Despite their impressive ranking as a unit, the team finished 28th in total rushing. This was due to the fact that a running back didn’t match the level of play the offensive line performed at. This offensive line boasts one of the more impressive interior three (guard, center, guard) depth charts in the entire NFL with a collection of road-grading, overpowering players along with young, promising players. The team made it a point to address their offensive line in the offseason by trading for Denver Broncos OG Manny Ramirez and spending their first-round pick on OG Laken Tomlinson from Duke University. Ramirez started every game for Denver in the last two seasons while Tomlinson is a player who was a four-year starter while earning 52 starts in a brilliant college career. Tomlinson will enter camp battling for a starting guard spot but could very well slide inside to center if former third-round pick Travis Swanson doesn’t continue to improve. The bottom line with this unit is that they have many possible starting combinations on the inside, while only having one real question mark which is at right tackle. It is a safe assumption to say that this unit will improve from an already solid one in 2014 to an even better one in 2015.

  2. TFE's NFL Draft Lead writer Brandon Thorn breaks down one of his top rated RBs for the 2015 NFL Draft with an in-depth, NFL style scouting report. This is the first of many prospects that are completed using this format. Feedback is very much appreciated! http://www.thefootballeducator.com/ameer-abdullah-nebraska/ Summary:Abdullah has been the bell cow back for the Cornhuskers since taking over the starting role as a sophomore in 2012 (three-year starter). Ameer set numerous school-records including the only player in history to rush for three 1,000 yard seasons and he finished as the school’s second all-time leading rusher. He finished his career with 813 carries, 4,588 yards, 5.6 YPC, 39 TD, 73 receptions, 690 yards, 7 TD, 1592 return yards, 26.1 YPR. Ameer’s senior season (2014) he finished with 264 carries, 1,611 yards, 6.1 ypc, 19 TDs, 22 receptions, 269 yards, 3 TDs, 14 returns, 392 yards, 28.0 avg. He also received his degree in history in 3 1/2 years. Abdullah is a dynamic, do-it-all player who wins with effort as much as explosion and quicks. His fearless mentality on the field allows him to be a very effective cut blocker, inside runner, and tackle breaker. Ameer looks to run inside first, but once in the open-field, look out. He runs low, which paired with his sculpted, compact frame gives him the leverage advantage against almost any defender. Arm tackles do not work against him and he initiates contact much more than he receives it. His two biggest strengths are his vision and decisiveness. He identifies the right hole consistently and wastes no time attacking it. His acceleration out of his first cut and jump cut is devastating. Ameer is a smooth route-runner and receiver out of the backfield, displaying soft hands that he uses to make the routine and difficult catch seamlessly. Aside from some fumbling issues his first three years that he cleaned up his Sr. year, his lack of overpowering size to run between the tackles at the next level is my only other concern. He could easily handle another 5-10 pounds of weight, making his body capable of being a feature back. By all accounts from college, he would be a great teammate and addition to the locker room as well. Ameer is a top 32 prospect for me with legitimate value near the end of round 1, worst-case middle of round 2. He’s the type of player who will likely get overlooked and be a steal after round 1. Value – Top 30 Projection – Top 50 Pro Comp = Ahmad Bradshaw
  3. Long before Ameer Abdullah was getting Ciante Evans out of a sideline butt-chewing, or busting off 200-yard games with regularity, or running around, past or through the entire defense to seal a win against a plucky foe, he had a decision to make: Play football in his beloved state of Alabama, or take a chance on a school hundreds of miles away. Brandon Vogel gives us some insight into the family who helped Ameer make that fateful decision.
  4. Hey everyone, I am the NFL Draft leader writer for The Football Educator run by former GM of the Denver Broncos Ted Sundquist & I am beginning to get my top 5, big board, and mock draft on the site for 2015. I wanted to come here and share what I think of some Cornhuskers. I am very high on both Randy Gregory & Ameer Abdullah, just thought you guys would appreciate it and if anything, enjoy this website in general. Please feel free to drop a comment to me @OneDayGM on Twitter. Thanks. http://www.thefootballeducator.com/brandon-thorns-2015-nfl-draft-big-board-jan-1/
  5. With Ameer out, looks like Cross and even Frazier will get a lot of touches this spring. Brian Christopherson @HuskerExtraBC Injury notes: Ryne Reeves ankle injury. Will miss rest of spring. Abdullah could also be out rest of spring with tweaked knee. #Huskers Brian Christopherson @HuskerExtraBC Bo not worried about Abdullah injury long term. "Let's face it, Ameer didn't need a lot of carries this spring," Bo said. #Huskers Samuel McKewon @swmckewonOWH In Abdullah's absence, look for Imani Cross to get more work and King Frazier to perhaps work some with the 1s. #huskers
  6. Ameer Abdullah is a star in the making. He is going to be an outstanding #1 RB for us.
