The 2023 NFL Draft is deep at several positions, and the running back class is one of the deepest position groups.
There are runners to not only fit but start in every offensive scheme used in the NFL. There are well-rounded “bell cow” backs, explosive or agile speedsters, and big power backs. UCLA’s Zach Charbonnet headlines the power backs in this year’s draft class. Charbonnet isn’t just a bruising runner, but also a gliding athlete who can pick up chunk yardage in the open field.
Running back has been considered an under-the-radar need for the New York Giants, and they have long needed a power back to pair with Saquon Barkley.
