Odds are you probably haven’t heard of him. His name is Tarik Cohen, and he’s a running back out of the historically black college North Carolina A&T. Despite his short stature, Cohen feels his game will translate well to the NFL, in two ways that bring on comparisons to Darren Sproles (5'6" 190lbs).

“My vision and the fact that I can make a play with the ball without getting like 20 carries a game,” Cohen said. “The suddenness to make an explosive play I feel like will transition well.” Cohen has been one of the best running backs in the FCS the past four seasons. He’s the MEAC’s all-time leading rusher with 5,619 yards and was the conference’s first three-time Offensive Player of the Year. "Naturally I have a chip on my shoulder,” Cohen said. “Being on this stage and being from a small school adds another chip on my shoulder.”
