Ameer Abdullah showed glimpses of being a high-level running back for Detroit Lions

You know, I keep watching Abdullah's jump cuts in slow motion, over and over again to find out what it is that makes them so effective but it's like watching a good magician do sleight of hand. You know something is going on, but you just can't see what it is that makes it work.

I think that is how the defenders who watch his film feel.

 
I think Abdullah's a great back; my worries are when he gets nicked up, he will have to learn to play at a high level while not 100%, he didn't do this well while a husker!

Are you sure? The only reason he sat out was because he sprained his knee and that benches almost any pro as well.

Oh yea, guaranteed. If you run that hard every single down like he did, you're hurting at the end.

Abdullah is one of the greatest backs we've ever had here. I don't know sometimes if people realize how truly fantastic that guy is. His numbers are great, but they could've been even better. He fought very hard for what he got.

 
Abdullah only had 2 carries for 7 yards in the second preseason game.

Why is that good news for Ameer?

Seems that Detroit has already pegged him as an offensive cornerstone and wants to protect him.

At least that's the word on the street.

Not bad for a rookie.

Ameer ran through an aggravated groin or hamstring, can't remember which one, for several games late in his junior year and still put up good production.
