NFL Draft prospect Sony Michel says he's modeled his game after six-time Pro Bowler LeSean McCoy.

The former Georgia running back rushed for 3,613 yards and 33 touchdowns in 47 college games.

"Guys I look up to, LeSean McCoy," Michel said when asked who he compares to in the NFL. "Guys that make guys miss in open space and make big plays. Those guys are who I try to emulate my game after."

Like McCoy, Michel has also been a threat in the passing game. At Georgia, he caught 64 passes for 621 yards and six scores.

Michel is rated by many as a potential second-round pick and the fourth or fifth best running back in the class.

"I'm hearing all over the place," Michel said. "I think my job is to do the best I can to prepare for that moment. Whether it's staying in shape, and just getting ready for that big-time moment. I'm excited."
