San Diego State's Rashaad Penny is the potential steal of NFL Draft

When Rashaad Penny recently landed in Buffalo for a pre-draft visit with the Bills, the former San Diego State running back climbed off the plane without a coat or long sleeves, despite the bone-rattling chill.

Penny is fearless when taking on tacklers — and winter itself.

“I wanted to show my toughness,” he joked.

The Southern California native’s wardrobe is hardly built for the NFL’s rugged northern climates, but his game fits perfectly. With any team. In any city. For anyone.

A general manager might step up and surprise, but the odds remain strong that Penny could become one of the steals of the draft that begins April 26 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
