The best RB prospect since Adrian Peterson? That's what one analyst says about this RB

The best since AP?

Ohio State has plenty of prospects in the 2016 NFL Draft, but running back Ezekiel Elliott might just be the pick of the litter.

Elliott has plenty of hype around him as his draft stock continues to skyrocket.

For ESPN's Sam Monson, he sees Elliott as the top running back prospect since Adrian Peterson.

Elliott might not have the speed or big-play ability that Peterson brings to the table, but Monson points to the Ohio State product's standing as a do-it-all player who can run block, read the field and catch passes as a receiver.

Elliott certainly will have an opportunity to put it all together as a likely first-round pick. Whether his talent translates to the pros remains to be seen.
