Scott Mason talks with Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post Gazette to chat about the journey of new Jets RB and University of Pittsburgh star Israel Abanikanda!

Noah discusses Abanikanda's unique family history including how his father unexpectedly became a football player in college, Izzy's early demonstrated love for the sport, the strict training regimen he has been on since he was a little boy, his evolution as a player from pop warner growing up in Brooklyn through college playing at Pittsburgh, how he made a strong immediate impression at Pittsburgh, relationships with coaches and a University of Pittsburgh legend, the story of the draft weekend experience among Izzy along with his family and close friends, which team his father absolutely did not want him to play for, the happiness he and his family feel that he can come home to NY and play in the NFL, potential fit with the Jets, and much more!
