Draft analyst: Georgia’s Sony Michel, Nick Chubb both among top 5 running backs

No wonder Georgia football was so good: A noted NFL draft analyst ranks four Bulldogs among the top players in the 2018 class at their positions, including two running backs.

Both Nick Chubb and Sony Michel landed top-five rankings at running back from NFL.com analyst Mike Mayock, who released the first set of his position-by-position rankings for April’s NFL Draft.

Mayock ranked Michel as the fourth-best running back in the draft class, with Chubb in fifth. The only three running backs graded higher are Saquon Barkley of Penn State, Derrius Guice of LSU and Ronald Jones II of USC.
