Mel Kiper Thinks Nyheim Hines is a 3rd Round Talent

ESPN’s NFL Draft aficionado Mel Kiper went on the air yesterday to break down running backs he thinks are underrated heading into the 2018 NFL Draft, and he made some glowing remarks about NC State’s Nyheim Hines.

He highlighted his versatility, and said any team looking to pick up a player like Darren Sproles, world be wise to take Hines in the 3rd round.

Here is a rundown of what other NFL Draft Analysts have been saying about Hines recently.

I don’t think he’ll go as high in the draft as Giovani Bernard, but #NCState‘s Nyheim Hines has similar twitchy burst, top-end speed, and great pass-catching upside.

Gio ran a 4.53, 10’2 broad jump and 6.91 short shuttle. Think Hines will test similarly.

Nyheim Hines is a better route runner than Jaylen Samuels pic.twitter.com/XfwUkddXof

Said on @sticktofootball Nyheim Hines is a bit of an under-the-radar 40 time contender – even after breaking the tackle here, catches his balance and goes 83 yds for six pic.twitter.com/7OzEU8omTS
