New Offensive Expectations Should Give Izzy Abanikanda Shot to Catch on Quickly at Pro Level

Take the time to watch Jets running back Izzy Abanikanda and his eye-popping runs during his time at Pitt and you can’t help but get excited about what the explosive runner can do for this Jets offense.

After logging over 1,400 yards and 20 touchdowns on the ground in his final collegiate season, expect Abanikanda to show off another aspect of his game now that he’s landed at 1 Jets Drive. That facet of his game being his ability to make plays as a receiver out of the backfield.

As mentioned with @DTereman on our draft wrap up show.
