In my opinion he has a good chance of being selected on a Sunday, not sure how much playing time he will get on a Sunday!

Hawks might take him in the first round.

lot of running backs in the draft...that is pre this last season i guess

PROS: Electric. Ran an electronic 4.32s 40-yard dash coming out of high school and still has every bit of the juice. In addition to the rocket strapped to his back, Ahmed is a pretty loose athlete in the open field -- he has good cuts and effective start/stop ability to pick his way through congested areas. He's got special teams value in addition to ball carrying skills -- and the Huskies even schemed him some quick throws in the flats to help simulate kick return atmosphere and let his playmaking and speed take control.

CONS: There's much to be proven in his role as an every down player, Ahmed has been stuck behind 2019 Draft selection Myles Gaskin for his first two years at Washington. Due for a big breakout season, but he needs to bring it to meet expectations. He's not overly dense as a ball carrier either, he's somewhat built like 2019 Draft pick Justice Hill -- which may mitigate his value to some teams given concerns about every-down potential. Contact balace isn't anything particularly special and he's not going to churn out a lot of tough yards in tight spaces or short yardage.

Blow on the kid and he topples over.

He's a 3rd down back who struggled catching it out of the backfield. Not a good combo.

He's got speed, yes... but in the NFL you've gotta either have plus vision to hit holes or the ability to break a couple arm tackles at the LOS. He has neither.

He'll get selected.. most likely on Saturday.. and he'll find a role on a team that values his play-making ability

He might be a sixth or 7th round pick but more likely a Non drafted free agent. Then we will never hear from him again. He couldn't hold Gaskins jockstrap and Gaskin was a 7th rounder.

Miles got a little action at the end of the season.

Probably a better pick than Collier who can't even get on the field. Imagine our D Line improvement if we had drafted a stud
