An already loaded running back class is getting another early entry, this time from the Pac-12.
Washington’s Salvon Ahmed is leaving school early to enter the 2020 NFL draft. He made his announcement via social media Friday.
Somewhat undersized at 5-11, 196 pounds, Ahmed shouldered the lion’s share of the carries for the Huskies this season, leading the team with 1,020 yards and 11 touchdowns on the ground. He was an efficient back all year long, finishing the season averaging 5.4 yards per carry.
An extremely deep class could push Ahmed down draft board, but the right situation could make him a bargain if he’s still on the board in the later rounds.
