Ohio State RB Ezekiel Elliott can be an Adrian Peterson-type running back if he stays healthy, according to an anonymous scout. ‘He can catch it, he can pass protect, he’s got NFL size and he can run,’ the scout said. Elliott has been compared to Peterson before by another anonymous scout.

Footballguys View: We don’t think he’s quite to Peterson’s level, but Elliott could be close. Elliott has good burst, is a fine receiver out of the backfield plus he’s intent when running between the tackles. He’s clearly the best RB in this draft class, and he could be a top-10 pick in the 2016 NFL draft.
