There is a lot of hype surrounding him in Detroit. Bleacher Report gives their opinion on it.

Since the draft he was my #2 running back behind Melvin Gordon.

I believe the hype. He was available for the Colts to grab him in round 2 and I think round 3. I can't remember but he was one of my favorite players coming out of the draft. When Detroit drafted him I was sure to tell everyone that he is going to become a stud running back in the NFL! The colts passed unfortunately.

They are saying he may start in Detroit or at

least have a big role. I'm looking for him to breakout more than any other running back. I'm guessing 900 yards 8 rushing TD, 350 receiving yards, 3 receiving TD.

What rookie running back do you think will break out this year!? Which will have the best season and help their team the most? Rookie of the year consideration for him?

I think you're confusing AA with somebody else.....

 

Abdullah was drafted in the 2nd round, 54th overall.      The Colts 2nd round pick was 61st, which they then traded back to the top of the 3rd round where we took DJ Smith.

 

So, the only round the Colts could've taken AA in was the first,  or they could've taken him in the 2nd had the Colts traded back out of the first.     But we only had one bite at the apple....

 

By the way,  I agree,  he's a terrific player, and reportedly an even better person.    One scout said AA had the highest character rating he had ever given out.    Ever.     Pretty impressive.

Yeah I must have been. Maybe hoping the Colts would have grabbed him in the second....

Thank God they didn't!!! Nothing against Abdullah, but if we would have drafted a RB after Dorsett there would have been some very upset Colt fans including myself. And I don't care about any draft board positioning we needed defense!

I agree! haha this forum and social media would have blown up. I would have also most likely. Atleast RB would have been somewhat of a need! I'm happy with the draft the Colts had this year though!

      Colts defense

      By AwesomeAustin · Posted

      Before the draft I had said multiple times I was happy with the offense. Then they were able to land AD in the 2nd and picked up two very good OL prospects. I think the offense is set for the next 3 years and can really do some damage.    The defense is what has concerned me. The three keys I believe are necessary for winning consistently in the NFL are:   Protect your QB - check Get after the other QB - 75% there  Take the ball away and give it back to your QB - middle of the pack.    Will this defense take the next step?  We all know about the young secondary. I kind of agree with the team philosophy of letting the younger players keep playing and see who emerges. Going to be keeping an eye on Cross, Scott and Flowers all season long. I believe this is a pretty big gamble by the team but hopefully 1-2 of them will rise to the occasion and prove to be a starter. Who in the secondary is going to start creating turnovers?     The DL will have a great rotation. If Latu is really the best pass rusher from the draft, this may be one of the deepest lines in the league. I love the DT position and the edge players have a lot of pieces for situational football. The addition of this DL coach looks to be exactly what this team needed to make the next step.    I understand the team still may add someone. Not sure who so not going to speculate much on available FAs. Mainly would like to steer this conversation towards who on this roster is capable of making a difference.  Anyways, interested to hear people’s opinions on who we have and if they can make the next step.

      Shane Steichen/Anthony Richardson/Jonathan Taylor Michael Pittman Jr/AD Mitchell/Alec Pierce/Josh Downs/Anthony Gould Jelani Woods/Will Mallory/Alex Ogletree/Kylen Gransen A top-five offensive line with all five starters returning with the best depth across the board in a very long time.

      Erlinger’s replacement

      By Chucklez · Posted

      You can absolutely argue this from a roster spot point of view, and from a kicking the tyres on someone else point of view. But a think having Ehlinger around, who knows the system now, and has experience with this team and players as the 3rd QB has value as well. Helps with the the entire practice squad player's development. So his value is more as a supporting piece rather than as an individual player.  But I get the argument for the extra roster spot for someone else to try out too.

      The way to beat any good QB is to rush the passer.Hoping Latu can make a big impact as a rookie.
