Devine Ozigbo, RB, Nebraska

Considered by many as the biggest combine snub, Devine Ozigbo from Nebraska is coming off an impressive senior season in which he approached 1,300 yards from scrimmage while scoring a dozen touchdowns.

When comparing his junior and senior campaigns, Ozigbo saw an increase of just 26 carries yet more than doubled his rushing yards. In 2017, Ozigbo managed only 493 rushing yards on 129 attempts for a woeful 3.8 yards per carry. Last year's dramatic improvement saw Ozigbo record 1,082 rushing yards on 155 attempts while catching more than 20 passes.

The results from Nebraska's pro day are notable given Ozigbo is 5'11" tall and weighed in at 233 pounds. That is a not a body type we see often in the NFL. In fact, the PlayerProfiler database doesn't have many comps for Ozigbo. Perhaps the closest is Mikel Leshoure, a second-round pick from 2011 that quickly flamed out after an injury cost him his rookie season.

This year's running back class was already looking uninspiring prior to the combine, and the results from Indianapolis did little to change that perception. Ozigbo is a very interesting power back who moves surprisingly well at his size and should find his name called at some point in the draft.
