Radio host Dan Patrick was chatting with an NFL scout ahead of next week's draft who thinks Alabama running back Jahmyr Gibbs looks a lot like Marshall Faulk.

The 5-foot-9, 199-pound back could be the Bengals' pick at No. 28.

"He said one of the players that he thinks is a real quality player is Jahmyr Gibbs," Patrick said on The Dan Patrick Show. "He transferred to Alabama from Georgia Tech. He says fast, elusive, great hands, and the comp will be Marshall Faulk. He says he'll be a steal."

Gibbs is the consensus 34th-ranked prospect and the second-best running back. 

He tallied 126 carries for 926 yards and 7 touchdowns last season.
