WATCH: NFL Draft Hopeful Tarik Cohen Pulls Off Double-Catch Backflip

WATCH: NFL Draft Hopeful Tarik Cohen Pulls Off Double-Catch Backflip

One of the best running backs in the FCS — North Carolina A&T's Tarik Cohen — showed off his athleticism recently as he gets set for the NFL Combine, looking to impress NFL Draft scouts.

In the video below, check out the 5-foot-6, 179-pound running back pull off a double-catch backflip.

Cohen, who was named to the HERO Sports FCS All-American first team and won the HERO Sports Fan Choice Offensive Player of the Year voting, is no stranger to most FCS fans.

He ran for 5,619 yards in his career and has twice run for more than 1,500 yards in a single season, breaking his own record this past year with a 1,588-yard season. He has 56 career rushing touchdowns and 59 total touchdowns in his career, and he recently set the single-season NC A&T touchdown record with 19.

FBS and NFL fans will get to know him better this week when he hits Indianapolis for the NFL Combine.

Though he comes from a small school, Cohen isn't getting overlooked in the NFL Draft process. NFL.com ranks him the 12th-best running back in the draft class and provides an impressive NFL comparison — Darren Sproles. CBS Sports has him a bit lower — he's projected the 26th running back in their rankings — but the site still projects him as a seventh-rounder or free agent pickup.

Check out the former Aggie's double-catch backflip:

The #NFLCombine begins tomorrow, maybe one guy to keep an eye out for is @ncatsuaggies' @_Twenty8_

While it's not a skill he will ever have to use on the gridiron, it's an amazing display of athletic ability, hand-eye coordination and strength.
