TBF he didnt show a great ability to catch the ball the limited times he had a chance at UW.BeerThirty said:
if he does what you mentioned and show a consistent ability to catch the ball out of the backfield, he should have a few teams salivating.Baseman said:
Yep but Ahmed will show up at the Combine, weigh in a little over 200 lb and run at least a low 4.4. He'll interview well, some team will fall in love and think he's at worst a 15 carry a game back, can return kicks then draft him somewhere between the end of the third and fourth round.PostGameOrangeSlices said:
He has elite measurables and some team will take a 6th round pick or something on himRaceBannon said:Talk about empty calories. My goodness will anyone even draft him? Running backs are devalued if they actually do great in college. What's the market for a part time back?
Couldnt hold a candle to Gaskin and his meh measurables
Ahmed is a bad traditional RB, great athlete, average football player that wasnt used to his fullest extent by the UW coaches. -
@MikeDamone I was literally going to mention Eugene Burkhalter as well. This has Burkhalter written all over it.MikeDamone said:Did he talk with Eugene Burkhalter?
He's not even the best back on the team. What makes him think he will make an NFL roster ? -
I've been consistent with my view of achmed since the beginning of last season. He is not an every down back. He does not like running between the tackles and HATES big contact. How many times have you seen him run the A gap and lower his shoulder in to the linebacker?
Having said that I agree with his decision to leave. At the beginning of this year Dick Newt was clearly becoming the #1 rb and his injury is the only reason achmed had a reasonably successful season. If he were to come back next year he would be competing for the backup carries.

He is a 4th or a 5th round guy. He is going to look amazing in underwear. He could be a decent guy and should play in the league for a few years. Seems like an ideal change of pace and ko guy. Good luck to him.
-
6th rounder. On a roster for 1-2 years. Practice Squad or XFL for the rest of his career.
-
Not a good rb. Undrafted.
-
This bored is too low on him. He isn’t special but he was an above average Pac RB with talent our offense didn’t tap into.
We’ve just been spoiled as duck at RB the last decade and don’t realize what we had with Salvon.
He’ll be a weapon at the next level. -

Ahmed never broke many tackles. He can’t outrun people in the NFL. Sorry for the lack of doogness here, but I’ll be surprised if he’s on an NFL roster this time next year.

Good poont

Just because he’s not amazing in between the tackles doesn’t make him not an everydown back. He’s a pretty good college RB. There really isn’t anything he can’t do, he just doesn’t do some things at a really high level.Canadawg said:I've been consistent with my view of achmed since the beginning of last season.

Agree with all this and I won’t be surprised if he does well in the NFL. I also won’t be surprised if he gets cut in his 2nd or 3rd year. There are too many variables.

He’s run sub 4.4 —handtimed. His agent will hire him a speed coach for draft prep. -
Six page thread for a
Right? That aged well. 4.65 and Adams showed stiff at the combine. Not a good look. At all.Doogles said:

Achmed is the most overhyped player to play at Washington that I can remember. I watched him all through HS and even caught a couple games when he was in junior football. I was somewhat skeptical then, but even I was surprised by what a POS he was at Washington.
The guy did not have a career, period. He will be forgotten and five years from now nobody will ever utter his name.
He lacks vision, hates contact, has no 'feel' for the inside game, goes down on first touch and is not big or strong enough to run over people. His pass blocking is suspect as well. That's a pretty bad combination for the position he plays. That leaves only "he's dangerous in the open field", but in the NFL, they don't just drop you in the open field, and getting to the open field is rather difficult. Truck lanes are not as common as they are in college.
If he makes a roster, he won't do shit and he'll be out of the league in no time.
Fuck DeAnthony Thomas ran harder and hit the hole faster than that guy and was a much more lethal home run threat and he's limited to returning kicks. WTF is Achmed going to do in a League in which Myles MF Gaskin struggles to get caries?
GMAFB. I want Ballz and BtP back here right now to kiss my mother fucking hand. -
He’s Dwayne Washington, only Washington actually ran a 4.4.

I had the same thought.Quietcowskee said:He’s Dwayne Washington, only Washington actually ran a 4.4.
Dwayne Washington is still hanging around the league too—because he’s been able to bulk up to 225# while preserving breakaway speed.
If Ahmed can find a better trainer, he might be able to do same. He’s definitely got NFL twitchiness. He’s just never really learned how to use his considerable gifts. -

Washington had better vision, pass protection, and balance
Ahmed runs were always hesitate, poor vision, fall down at first contact
Also Washington ran a 4.44 40 at 6'2" 226 lbs -

Washington didn’t have better vision. He had almost none. Ahmed has some vision. He’s just inconsistent.Houhusky said:

I was told he would get drafted because he looked good in his underpants

I am a well documented D Wash defender but his vision was definitely worse than Ahmed's.Houhusky said:

To be fair Ahmeds vision only looked fine sometimes because he would stop, plant his feet, and stand still in the backfield looking for the hole.RoadDawg55 said:
