The Arizona Cardinals continue their preparation for the NFL draft and have been meeting with NFL draft prospects.
One of the latest prospect meetings was with Pitt running back Israel Abanikanda, according to The Draft Network’s Ryan Fowler.
Abanikanda had his pro day and he visited with the Cardinals, 49ers and Rams on Tuesday night. This was not an official top-30 visit.
Abanikanda is 5-foot-10 and weighed in at 217 pounds at his pro day. He ran the 40 in 4.34 seconds and posted a 41-inch vertical leap.
In 2022, Abanikanda rushed for 1,431 yards and 20 touchdowns on 6.0 yards per carry.
With his production, size, athleticism and production, it won’t likely take long for him to hear his name called in the NFL draft at the end of April.
