Detroit Lions rookie running back Ameer Abdullah electrified college football last season, and in his first preseason game he didn’t disappoint.
The former Cornhusker carried the ball 7 times for 67 yards with impressive runs between tackles and of course, his blazing speed was on display.
Check the video below for Abdullah’s impressive cut and blast of speed.

Lions Head Coach spoke on Abdullah’s first game and he left an impression.
“The Lord blessed him with some pretty unique talent.”
Abdullah will be getting some of starter Joique Bell’s carries, but he could be a sleeper to steal more carries as they get deeper in the season.
With the Lions recent history of injuries to their running backs, Abdullah might get a chance to play right away.
