Profile

Summary: Abram makes his presence known on the field, both as a leader and with his ability to be physical at any moment. He is a solid run defender who could continue to work on his pass coverage skills, but Abram can run with tight ends and more than hold his own near the line of scrimmage.

Lance Zierlein of NFL.com wrote that Abram is a "blunt force-striker with the measurables and play demeanor teams look for from a down safety with nickel linebacker qualities. Abrams did an admirable job in coverage in Mississippi State's scheme but might not have the anticipation and ball skills to hold up in extended coverage duties. Abrams shines as a physical run defender with pursuit speed and energy to play sideline to sideline."
