One of the Arizona Cardinals’ most fascinating draft stories came in 2015 when Terry McDonough’s phone call to Nebraska RB Ameer Abdullah was interrupted by the Detroit Lions—-caught brilliantly on film by the “All or Nothing” crew.
I do not even have to look back at my 2015 Senior Bowl notes, because I remember verbatim everything I wrote about Abdullah and Northern Iowa’s David Johnson.
What I fell in love with about Abdullah was his quick feet—-and I was totally on board with the Cardinals in targeting the Senior Bowl MVP (7-73 rushing, 4-40 receiving) as their 2nd round pick.
