Former Pitt RB Showcasing Versatility With Packers

Israel Abanikanda ran for over 2,000 yards in his time on the Pitt Panthers. Since then he has spent time with the New York Jets, the San Francisco 49ers and now the Green Bay Packers. He recently rushed for 43 yards and found the endzone against the Indianapolis Colts.

On top of leading the team in rushing last week with 43 yards on 12 carries and a touchdown he also handled 5 kickoff returns totaling 120 yards and managed to tail a tackle well covering a kickoff as well. It’s impossible to ignore his special teams production.
