"Abdullah is a first-class person off the field as well with a well-respected, grounded personality and works his tail off in the weight room. While his size will immediately turn some off, Abdullah is extremely talented and polished with the ball in his hands and few run harder or more energetic, reminding me of a better version of Andre Ellington and has the skill-set to have a Warrick Dunn-type career at the next level." - Dan Brugler, CBS.com

 "There is a lot to like about Ameer Abdullah so his game should translate well to the NFL. While he may lack elite size and speed, his other traits for the position are top notch. He plays much bigger than his size and has never had any major injuries.  Abdullah plays with a mean streak, always looking to run through defenders and fight for extra yards.  You rarely see him get tackled for a loss. He must work on his pass protection if he wants to be an every down back in the NFL." - James Christensen, NEPatriotsDraft.com
