It really does seem as though everywhere you look, there’s another running back in the 2025 NFL Draft with the potential to be a playmaker at the next level.
DJ Giddens from Kansas State, for instance, isn’t high on many draft boards, and gets little discussion outside of scout circles. Yet he ran for over 1,300 yards and averaged over 6.5 per carry this year with an average of 6 yards per carry for his career.
The New York Giants might not feel a pressing need to draft a running back this year, but the absolute glut of talented backs in this class could make it inevitable.
