Ezekiel Elliott's draft stock may be on the rise leading up to the NFL Draft.

One NFL scout believes the Ohio State running back could be on the same career path as Adrian Peterson.

"He is the only one with all the traits. He's got a chance to be the best player in the draft. He, (Joey) Bosa, (Laremy) Tunsil. He can catch it, he can pass protect, he's got NFL size and he can run," the scout told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

"If he stays healthy he's going to be a (Adrian) Peterson-type back."

The scout isn't the first to make the comparison. An AFC running backs coach told College Football 24/7's Sources Tell Us the same thing last month.

The Minnesota Vikings drafted Peterson seventh overall in 2007.
