I think we need more burst unless we grab him late.

Wellllllllll....
Devin Neal measured in at 5'11" 213, ran a 4.58 with a 1.59 10-yard split, 37.5" vertical, and a 10'4" broad jump.
Here's how his scouting report from Zeurlein reads:

Overview
Workload runner with NFL size and four years of steady production to help elevate the program. Neal runs with a nice blend of patience and decisiveness to choose the right lanes and maximize each carry. He lacks top-end burst and speed, which will shrink the field for him, but he’s a fall-forward runner with good contact balance and a nose for short-yardage conversions. He has good instincts and soft hands in space and can help as a leak-out or swing-pass option. His blue-collar approach isn’t exciting but it is effective and Neal has the ability to develop into a backup three-down back.

Kareem Hunt measured in at 5'11" 216, ran a 4.60 with a 1.58 10-yard split, 36.5" vertical, and a 9'11" broad jump.
Here's how his scouting report from Zeurlein read:

Overview
Big back with plus vision and enough elusiveness to make the first defender miss. Feel for the rushing lane helps him choose the correct path between the tackles but lacks the burst to turn the 4-yard run into 14. Zone-scheme runner with serviceable hands out of the backfield. Adequate in most areas and has talent to become a backup that can step in and handle a bigger load if needed

Hunt has longer arms and bigger hands, but all else being equal, they do look and sound very, very similar.
