Running back Ashton Jeanty of Boise State will be drafted in the first round, right? Right?

“Everybody’s just assuming that,” an executive in personnel for an AFC team said. “I guess he will, but I wouldn’t be shocked if he didn’t. There’s so many running backs now that you should get one in any round. People value other positions more than running backs. You look at all these guys, you can get them all in the fourth, fifth round if you need one.”

The glut of desirable running backs and their corresponding devaluation is a relatively new phenomenon.

It wasn’t that long ago when many teams had a minimum height requirement for the position. Whereas once the sub 6-foot back was stigmatized, today that isn’t a factor at all. Some teams had love for big backs. Now? Not so much.

Of the top 25 running backs, just six stand 6-0 or taller. Just five scaled 220 pounds.

Speed has forever been coveted. In the throwing game of today, receiving skills and pass blocking are essential.

“Jeanty is the best,” said another executive. “The rest of these guys, just throw ‘em in a bag and mix ‘em up and take them all. They’re good. Second-round picks, third-round picks. The order is they’re pretty much all the same.”

In my mind, there isn’t much separation between the No. 6 back, Georgia’s Trevor Etienne, and the backs residing at Nos. 19-20-21: Donovan Edwards of Michigan, Rocket Sanders of South Carolina and Devin Neal of Kansas.

“Running back values are all over the place,” another scout said. “Some guys could be a third-rounder, some guys could be a seventh-rounder. You never really know.”

One team categorized 11 running backs as NFL starters. With the group so tightly bunched, there’s little urgency to draft early.

“With it being so deep in the third to 11 range, you’re not going to take the third guy if you value the 11th guy in that same threshold,” an AFC evaluator said. “You can get a guy later.”

Twenty-one running backs rushed for more than 900 yards last season. The top six all were selected no later than third among running backs in their draft class.

“In the league, you’ve got three or four special guys,” said one executive. “(Derrick) Henry and Saquon (Barkley) and Josh (Jacobs) and (Jahmyr) Gibbs. After that, everybody’s got a running back. Not changing the game in any way, but playing their role.”

Five of last season’s leading leading rushers at the position were drafted 10th or lower in their draft class. The group includes Chase Brown, the 10th back taken in 2023; Tony Pollard, 11th in 2019; Kyren Williams, 15th in 2022; Aaron Jones, 19th in 2017, and Rico Dowdle, a free agent after 19 went off the board in 2020.

“You’re going to get a really good player maybe even Day 3 because there’s so many good ones this year,” said one NFC personnel man. “This is a really, really good group.”

RUNNING BACKS​

1. ASHTON JEANTY, Boise State (5-8 ½, 213. No 40, 1): In the closest race for the Heisman Trophy since 2009, Travis Hunter won with 2,231 points and Jeanty was second with 2,017. “Draft him first overall and you’re not wrong,” one scout said.

“It was honestly a crime he did not win the Heisman Trophy this year. Whoever takes this young man will be absolutely thrilled from the minute they draft him to the minute he retires. He is a rare human being and a rare player. I just don’t see how he fails. If he’s not something on the field he’s going to turn himself into that with his work ethic. Ashton’s rare trait is his contact balance and ability to break tackles.” His total of 2,601 rushing yards in 2024 was the second most in FBS annals behind Barry Sanders’ 2,628. He had 14 straight 100-yad games and averaged 7.0 per carry. “This guy’s a complete back,” another scout said. “He blocks, he can catch the ball; those are real big struggles for most running backs coming out. This guy will make two miss and run over the third. Great kid.” Compared by various scouts to Bijan Robinson, Emmitt Smith and LaDainian Tomlinson. “He’s stout, he’s agile, he’s got big-play potential,” a third scout said. “He runs away from people. He’s got good hands. Everybody loves him, and it’s easy to see why.” Third-year junior. Played 40 games, finishing with 750 carries for 4,769 yards (6.4-yard average) and 50 touchdowns to go with 80 receptions for 862 yards (10.8-yard average) and six scores. Doubtful that he’ll ever run a 40. One scout estimated his speed at 4.48. “He’s good, not special, and I certainly wouldn’t take him in the first round,” said a fourth scout. “If you’ve already got a really good team and a whole bunch of people around him you take him and try to fill the void. He’s a short big guy with rare production. The vision is really good, the balance is really good. He's sturdy. He’s got a little bit of quickness. Just not a top talent as far as make you miss, burst, top speed. Doesn’t do much in the pass game. He’s good, just not great. He is the best this year.” Four-star recruit from Jacksonville, Fla. Basketball was his first love, and he played it in high school along with running track. Son of a U.S. Naval officer. Most decorated athlete in Boise State history.

2. OMARION HAMPTON, North Carolina (5-11 ½, 223, 4.50, 1-2): Finished second to Jeanty in rushing last season with 1,660 (5.9) and had 10 100-yard games in 12 appearances. “I’m going to sound crazy saying this but I like him over Boise (Jeanty),” said one scout. “Athletic, strong mover with burst. Stays low on contact. Runs with vision. Average twitch, but he’ll run through some tackles. Hands are fine. Makes plays in space. Pass pro is good.” Tested well with a 38-inch vertical jump and a 10-10 broad jump. “He is a punishing runner but he also has exceptional contact balance to stay on his feet through those collisions,” said a second scout. “Now that’s going to lead to a shorter career than you’d like. But while he’s still young and there’s some tread on the tires, man, that guy’s gonna be a really, really solid player throughout his rookie contract.” Finished with 622 carries for 3,565 (5.7) and 36 TDs to go with 73 receptions for 635 (8.7) and four scores. “Big dude with some niftiness,” said a third scout. “Short bursts. More of a downhill, crease runner. Really good hands out of the backfield. Reminded me of Latavius Murray. I like him but I don’t think he’s any star.” Four-star recruit from Clayton, N.C. Also participated in basketball and track. “Kid had a nice two years,” a fourth scout said. “He’s as pretty as you can draw them up. Looks like an Under Armour mannequin. But he runs really high. Pretty tight and stiff. The best running backs are guys with low centers of gravity, lateral agility, contact balance. This guy’s just big and straight-line fast. Maybe in the right scheme, maybe an outside zone-49ers-Sean McVay get him on a track and get him downhill and then he can run away from people. But it’s such an instinctive position. I just didn’t see a guy with great vision and great contact balance. But the production’s there. He’s a tough one (to project). He looks the part. I’d see him third or fourth round. I’d be shocked if he went first or second round.”

3. TREVEYON HENDERSON, Ohio State (5-10, 204, 4.40, 2): Four-year starter. Largest production came as a freshman (1,248 yards, 15 touchdowns). “Helped himself at the combine,” one scout said. “Ran pretty fast. He’s really, really well-liked. He’s undersized. Does he run good? Yeah, but people value other positions more than running backs. I don’t think he’s going in the first.” Missed games in 2022-’23 with a variety of injuries. “The durability is the big question for him,” said a second scout. “He has to stay healthy. He went through injury problems a year ago, which really hurt the team. He’s got good feet. I don’t know if he has elite vision like some other guys. I wouldn’t put him in the first but because his hands are good enough and he’s a big-play threat I could see him going in the second. He’s a great guy. He’ll be great in the locker room no matter where he goes. I never saw him as having great vision to be a consistent inside runner.” Finished with 590 carries for 3,761 (6.4) and 42 TDs to go with 77 receptions for 853 (11.1) and six scores. “He’s got pick and slide and movement and balance,” a third scout said. “Really good hands. He’s a rotational starter. Maybe second round.” Five-star recruit from Hopewell, Va., ranked as the No. 1 prep back in the U.S. “Mid-round type guy,” a fourth scout said. “Not dynamic or anything like that. Just a steady Eddie guy.”

4. KALEB JOHNSON, Iowa (6-1, 224, 4.56, 2-3): Third-year junior. Set a freshman record at Iowa with 779 yards rushing. “Lot of explosive runs of 25-plus yards,” one scout said. “Had a few that were 50-plus. Has a burst to run stretch and get downhill. Is able to exploit inside run lanes. Shows good patience for (following) blockers. Capable of running behind his pads and showing leg drive and contact balance. Limited targets out of the backfield but showed reliable hands. Can still improve in pass protection. Kind of a one-year full-time starter.” Led the Big Ten in 2024 with 1,537 yards and 21 TDs. “He’s smooth-moving with really good vision,” a second scout said. “In that zone they run he kind of just weaves his way in. He’s got a little bit of burst in-line to get where he needs to go but not really explosive. Not much elusiveness once he gets out in space. He can’t cut laterally to move. They really don’t use him in the passing game. Backup rotational type. He reminded me way back of Kevin Smith from UCF. Very similar. Finished with 508 carries for 2,779 (5.5) and 30 TDs to go with 29 receptions for 240 and two scores. “He didn’t run very good at the combine but I don’t know that anybody expected him to,” said a third scout. “He’s one of the more immature guys at Iowa but you’ve got to keep it relevant because they don’t have a lot of problems. Just sort of young and immature knowing he’s the best player on their team. He’s probably OK. I suspect he goes third or fourth round. He’s a first- and second-down runner with capable hands.” Was reportedly suspended for the first half of the opener in 2024. From Hamilton, Ohio.
 
5. QUINSHON JUDKINS, Ohio State (5-111/2, 221, 4.38, 3): Three-star recruit from Pike Road, Ala. “He was sort of an afterthought recruit to Ole Miss,” one scout said. “He got there and burst on the scene, and every last ounce of it went to his head … he was then very problematic that he (coach Lane Kiffin) couldn’t stand the kid, and when Ohio State offered the money let him go. Supposedly, he did pretty well at Ohio State. I don’t know if he’s really had a change of heart or just it was the circumstances.” As a freshman, he broke the school record for most yards (1,567) and, in a race against Jackson State QB Shedeur Sanders, won the Conerly Trophy as the best player in Mississippi. Also was named SEC newcomer of the year. Came back with 1,158 in 2023 before gaining 1,060 in a job-sharing arrangement with Henderson on a national championship team. “More of a slasher,” a second scout said. “Not really a natural runner. Not much wiggle. Just kind of a one-cut, run-as-hard-as-you-can into something. Brings some energy. Maybe second round.” Ran a much faster 40 than more than one personnel man anticipated. “Frickin’ tough guy,” a third scout said. “He’s a short-yardage back. I’d go with Judkins over Henderson because I’d much rather have a guy who can grind out first downs. It is close.” His 11-0 broad jump led the position. “Totally overrated,” said a fourth scout. “He is strong, physical, runs hard. But he’s not elusive at all. I didn’t like his feet. Not a natural pass catcher. He’s awkward to the ball when it’s off-target. He fell down a lot. He was a beneficiary of their system.” Three-year totals were 739 carries for 3,785 (5.1) and 45 TDs to go with 59 receptions for 442 and five scores. Scored three TDs in the national title game.

6. TREVOR ETIENNE, Georgia (5-8 ½, 200, 4.40, 3): Played two seasons for Florida before shifting to Georgia and then declaring a year early. “He went into a really good program and took over the starting spot after having been in a committee down in Florida,” one scout said. “Had the suspension earlier in the year. Overcame some injuries. His brother (Travis) is more straight-line explosive but Trevor is better through contact, maintaining balance, taking hits. Knows when to take it outside and when to go north and south through creases. Showed up in big games. Good enough hands.” Was suspended for Game 1 after being charged in the offseason with DUI and reckless driving. Travis Etienne (5-10, 215, 4.44) was the No. 25 overall pick in 2021 and put up 1,000-yard seasons in 2022 and ’23 for Jacksonville. “The football character’s really positive at both Florida and Georgia even though folks will say he kind of enjoyed the nightlife,” said a second scout. “He had a DUI back in spring ball. They say he tightened up and became a lot more focused and showed a lot of contrition. So I think there’s a lot of maturity with this kid. I see him as a three-down starter. He’s not quite the true workhorse type but he’ll be a lead back in a rotation as the lightning you’d pair with thunder. His explosive ability to get into the second level of the defense reminded me of another guy in a Georgia jersey. D’Andre Swift. Once you get a hit on him and wrap him up, he goes down pretty much there. He’s not getting knocked back but he’s not dragging people along for the ride, either. He had some issues this year just dropping the ball in the pass game. I think that’s more of a focus issue than truly having bad hands. He’s a good, solid Day 2 pick.” Finished with 371 carries for 2,081 (5.6) and 23 TDs to go with 62 receptions for 432 and one score. Returning 26 kickoffs for the Gators, averaging 24.8. “He’s got some talent but he’s more of a third-down guy,” a third scout said. “Kind of disappointing, to a degree.” Four-star recruit from Jennings, La.

7. OLLIE GORDON, Oklahoma State (6-1 ½, 226, 4.59, 3-4): Unlike Etienne, Gordon wasn’t suspended after being arrested for a DUI in late June. Finished seventh in Heisman Trophy voting in 2023 after leading FBS in rushing with 1,732 yards. Was only the fourth sophomore to win the Doak Walker Award. Made the All-America team. Slipped to 880 yards in ’24 before declaring a year early. “He’s the type of player that Derrick Henry is but I don’t know if he’s that good,” one scout said. “Third round.” Weighed 233 at the Senior Bowl in late January, seven pounds more than at the combine a month later. In the Senior Bowl, he completed a 32-yard touchdown pass to open the scoring. Finished with 537 carries for 2,920 (5.4) and 36 TDs to go with 80 receptions for 585 and four scores. “He’s a big, slow, upright guy,” a second scout said. “Gets chopped down at his legs. Gets tripped up easy. Can’t elude people. No power for a big guy. Does nothing in the passing game. I didn’t see anything.” Four-star recruit from Fort Worth, Texas.

8. DJ GIDDENS, Kansas State (6-0, 212, 4.47, 3-4): Redshirted in 2021, backed up in ’22 and started 25 games in 2023-’24. “Like him a lot,” one scout said. “He’s got excellent size. He ran well. Has excellent vision. You’re talking about natural ability to find space. He can make people miss in small areas, which for a guy his size is very good. He’s tough. Finishes runs. He’s a legit guy. I would say second round. More of a check-down receiver (but) he definitely has the skills to be used as a route runner.” Compared to the high-school heroics of most NFL prospects, his were modest: one big season, 1,912 career yards at Junction City, Kan. “Quick and twitchy with the ball,” another scout said. “Elusive to make guys miss. Strong runner. Good contact balance. Uses his balance to set up defenders. Question the pull-away long speed. Not good in pass pro.” Finished with 517 carries for 3,087 (6.0) and 23 TDs to go with 58 receptions for 679 (11.4) and four scores. “He ran better at the combine than I anticipated,” a third scout said. “Doesn’t have the breakaway speed but maybe enough. He’ll make it as sort of a combination runner-receiver. Good value in the third day. Liked him for what he represents.”

9. CAM SKATTEBO, Arizona State (5-9 ½, 219, no 40, 3-4): Carried the downtrodden Sun Devils on his back and into the CFP playoffs. “I’ve never seen anything like this guy,” one scout said. “It’s a train wreck every run. I don’t know how long he’s gonna last. He can play, though. He’s got great vision and balance. He can find little creases in there. He’s got some niftiness. But after that, when it’s contact time, every run is bang-bang-bang! He’s fighting and somebody else hits him in the back, and then he lines up again. It’s incredible. Never seen a back like this. One guy compared him to Mike Alstott, but he was 250 pounds. If you can get him through a couple years without him getting hurt, you’d love to have that kid’s energy on the team.” Coming out of Rio Linda, Calif., he spent three years at FCS Sacramento State. The 2020 campaign was canceled by Covid. For the Hornets in 2021-’22, he carried 253 times for 1,893 (7.5) and 13 TDs to go with 43 receptions for 497 and four scores. “God, he’s fun to watch,” a second scout said. “Looks like a garbage man. Short, squatty, bad body. Crazy thing is, his makeup’s not very good. They don’t really like the guy at the school other than the fact what he does on Saturday. Hats off to the guy as a football player. He’ll probably make it for like a year, maybe two. Be a third or fourth guy. Then, when he realizes has to play special teams and how much goes into it … but he is fun to watch.” After an OK season for a 3-9 ASU club in 2023, he emerged to finish fifth in the voting for the Heisman Trophy with a 1,711-yard, 21-touchdown rushing season. Became the first FBS player since Christian McCaffrey in 2015 to rush for 1,500 and have 500 receiving in a season. “He’s the most competitive guy on the field,” said one scout. “He’s always been the best player in every game he plays in. He runs his *** off. He runs through people. He’s tough and physical. The speed will be pretty mediocre. That’s where he’ll get knocked. If you get into early of the third round and you’re looking for a competitor and a guy that checks all the boxes I could see him going up there.” His two-year statistics for ASU were 457 carries for 2,494 (5.5) and 30 TDs to go with 69 receptions for 891 (12.9) and four scores. In 2023, he took 50 snaps at quarterback (seven for 17 passing for 172 and two TDs in his career). Also punted eight times for a 42.3 average. “He became sort of a media sensation when they made that run,” said a fourth scout. “He is a fun player. He’s an oddball. Last year, they did all these crazy formations and snap it to him and he could throw it or kick it or run it. He’s just another third-day guy who will have a short career because he’s a little beaten-up, to an extent.”
 
10. BHAYSHUL TUTEN, Virginia Tech (5-9, 206, 4.29, 3-4): Fastest back on the board. “He ran that 4.2 and you see that on the field,” one scout said. “He is the most explosive of all these guys. Runs hard, too. You get him in a crease or the open field and it’s over with. He’s the closest one to (Jahmyr) Gibbs as far as, if there’s a crease, it’s over. He’s in the mix as my No. 2 running back (in the draft).” Tuten’s vertical jump of 40 ½ also led the position. His broad jump was 10-10. “I’m a big fan,” another scout said before the combine. “After the combine things will change. He has a chance to run in the 4.3s. He’s talented.” Played his first two years at FCS North Carolina A&T. In two seasons, he carried 245 times for 1,578 (6.4) and 16 TDs to go with 41 receptions. In Blacksburg, he started 23 of 24 games, carrying 356 times for 2,022 (5.7) and 25 TDs to go with 50 receptions for 320 and four scores. “He tested really well,” said a third scout. “Not particularly big. We thought he was a good backup in the fourth or fifth.” Returned 37 kickoffs for 25.7 and two touchdowns and five punts for 2.2. “I wasn’t a huge fan,” said a fourth scout. “He’s just one of those guys that’s a good football player with a pretty average set of skills. Not the biggest, not overly elusive but he’s got good vision, he runs hard and he’s a really good kid. He’ll be a guy where the starter gets hurt and he comes in and runs for 600, 700 yards as a No. 2 or No. 3. But I don’t ever see him being a No. 1 or No. 2 type guy.” From Paulsboro, N.J., where in high school he ran 60 meters in 7.03.

11. DYLAN SAMPSON, Tennessee (5-8, 199, 4.45, 4): Third-year junior. SEC offensive player of the year in 2024 after leading the league in rushing (a school-record 1,491) and rushing TDs (22). “He’s fairly similar to Etienne,” said one scout. “Slippery between the tackles. Good foot quicks. Like his vision and timing. Has pass-down value. He may slide to the fifth. Etienne’s a willing blocker. This guy, they don’t even seem to use him as a blocker. He doesn’t do special teams. You like the runner. He was productive this year in the Southeastern Conference. That counts for a lot. But the lack of versatility … it’s hard for me to say this guy is a true starter. He’s more of a rotation piece but then, OK, he’s not going to give you anything on third or fourth down so the draft value starts to slide.” Four-star recruit from Baton Rouge, La., where he broke Eddie Lacy’s career rushing record at Dutchtown High with 4,927. Posted a 4.0 grade-point average and was named homecoming king. A standout in track, he posted bests of 10.48 in the 100 meters and 21.16 in the 200. “Runs hard, looks ordinary, not special as a receiver,” a second scout said. “Looks and feels lean. Decent burst through the line of scrimmage but struggles with long speed. I had a real problem with his vision. He runs into the offensive line’s backs way too (much). No ability to elude defenders at any level. Struggles with contact.” Finished with 422 carries for 2,492 (5.9) and 35 TDs to go with 40 receptions for 342 and one score. Doesn’t turn 21 until September.

12. JAYDON BLUE, Texas (5-9, 196, 4.37, 4): Third-year junior with merely five starts in 38 games. “He’s a second- or third-round pick if he can pass pro,” said one scout. “Not a real thumper. Doesn’t have a ton of *** behind him. But he’s a major asset as a receiver because he’s really fast and really athletic. He knows how to run routes and catch a ball and is good run after the catch. He’s a home-run guy with the outside zone. He’s elusive in space to a wow level. He’s very sudden.” Caught two touchdown passes against Ohio State in the playoffs. Finished with 214 carries for 1,161 (5.4) and 11 TDs to go with 56 receptions for 503 and seven scores. Returned three kickoffs for 26.7 in 2023. “Sort of a knockoff Jahmyr Gibbs,” a second scout said. “They use him on quick passes and screens. He’s a good receiver. He’s a piece of a backfield puzzle, not like the guy. Where do you take that guy? Third or fourth round.” Passed up his senior of football in Houston.


THE NEXT FIVE​

Jordan James, Oregon (5-9 ½, 208, 4.52)
Said one scout: “He’s OK. Everybody’s going to bump him up because of the (Oregon) kid last year (Bucky Irving, fourth round) who stirred everybody up in Tampa. He had a good rookie year so I think it will spook everybody to give him a (long) look. Third day.”

Kyle Monangai, Rutgers (5-8, 209, 4.58)
Said one scout: “That (speed) is the big if. Loved the way he played. He is fearless. It’s not like Rutgers has a dynamic offense. They know he’s getting the ball. Good in pass pro. Top of the line kid. He’s a perfect fourth-round pick.”

Jarquez Hunter, Auburn (5-9 ½, 210, 4.47)
Said one scout: “He loves football. Had an episode and was on suspension for several months during the summer. That may push him down a round. Fourth would be the earliest. Jarquez is a tough runner. He’s sort of compact. Can catch the ball pretty well. He’d be a good little piece for somebody.”

RJ Harvey, Central Florida (5-8, 205, 4.40)
Said one scout: “Kind of a poor man’s Bucky Irving. Kind of built the same way. Really like his demeanor. Compact guy. He’s shown he can catch the ball out of the backfield. He’ll be a solid, efficient, productive No. 2 back that can ascend into a heavier role with more experience.”

Tahj Brooks, Texas Tech (5-9, 214, 4.53)
Said one scout: “Kind of an under-the-radar guy. Kind of a bowling ball. He’s really similar to Monangai. Not a great outside runner. Not speed-deficient, but it’s not an asset. Really strong. Can make the first guy miss in the hole. He’s a good No. 2 runner, a change-of-pace banger. He’s not tall but he’s thick, and he plays with that thickness. Third round.”
 
LOL. Martinez, supposedly a Cowboys favorite, isn't listed. After Jeanty, you could use the second, fifth, or sixth round and still get a good player. It just depends on what you are looking for.
The more I read, the more I'm thinking,g wait until the 4th or 5th ......use the first 3 picks on other positions.

BTW.....appreciate this Risen
 
mcginn used to have the scouts rank the players so he could include vote totals for each player... I wonder how he ranks them now and if he's talking to less scouts?
 
This is a weird comparison, but DJ Giddens running style reminds me of Emmitt. With his vision and change of direction. He's taller, so physically he looks a little different. But the way he reads his blocks, makes guys miss, doesn't look like he's blazing by anybody but still breaks big runs. With his production + athletic testing + connection with our coaching staff, he's got to be a top RB target for us, surely.

Liked what I read about Tuten who is a 30 visitor.
 
3. TREVEYON HENDERSON, Ohio State (5-10, 204, 4.40, 2): Four-year starter. Largest production came as a freshman (1,248 yards, 15 touchdowns). “Helped himself at the combine,” one scout said. “Ran pretty fast. He’s really, really well-liked. He’s undersized. Does he run good? Yeah, but people value other positions more than running backs. I don’t think he’s going in the first.” Missed games in 2022-’23 with a variety of injuries. “The durability is the big question for him,” said a second scout. “He has to stay healthy. He went through injury problems a year ago, which really hurt the team. He’s got good feet. I don’t know if he has elite vision like some other guys. I wouldn’t put him in the first but because his hands are good enough and he’s a big-play threat I could see him going in the second. He’s a great guy. He’ll be great in the locker room no matter where he goes. I never saw him as having great vision to be a consistent inside runner.” Finished with 590 carries for 3,761 (6.4) and 42 TDs to go with 77 receptions for 853 (11.1) and six scores. “He’s got pick and slide and movement and balance,” a third scout said. “Really good hands. He’s a rotational starter. Maybe second round.” Five-star recruit from Hopewell, Va., ranked as the No. 1 prep back in the U.S. “Mid-round type guy,” a fourth scout said. “Not dynamic or anything like that. Just a steady Eddie guy.”

Been saying durability and lack of vision scare the hell out of me with him.
