While his lack of size (5’9 and 203lbs) led to him falling to the second round of the 2015 NFL Draft, several teams were hoping they could “steal” Abdullah on the second day of said Draft. While the Detroit Lions did end up taking Abdullah, he failed to live up to any level of expectations. In three seasons in Detroit, he never started more than 11 games, and never ran for more than 600 yards.
