2025 NFL Combine preview: 6 running backs the Detroit Lions should be watching

Our 2025 NFL Combine preview series continues, with this installment focusing on a handful of running backs who should be on the radar of Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes.

The running backs will participate in on-field activities on Saturday, March 1, a day that will also feature this year’s quarterback class (a group we have already featured in this series) and wide receivers group.

Team need

The Lions have their co-starters (Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery) and a top reserve (Sione Vaki) locked in for potentially the next three seasons (through 2027), leaving just one depth spot unfilled.
