The New York Giants are very much in the race to grab Penn State running back Saquon Barkley in the first-round of the 2018 NFL Draft, but how does he stack up against other running backs?
Here’s a list of several other running backs entering the draft this year, according to CBS Sports:
| PLAYER | HEIGHT | WEIGHT (LBS) |
|---|---|---|
| Kalen Ballage | 6’1-4/8″ | 228 |
| Saquon Barkley | 6’0″ | 233 |
| Nick Chubb | 5’10-7/8″ | 227 |
| Derrius Guice | 5’10-4/8″ | 224 |
| Nyheim Hines | 5’8-3/4″ | 198 |
| Kerryon Johnson | 5’11-4/8″ | 213 |
| Ronald Jones | 5’11” | 205 |
| John Kelly | 5’9-7/8″ | 216 |
| Sony Michel | 5’10-5/8″ | 214 |
| Rashaad Penny | 5’11” | 220 |
How do these running backs compare to Barkley, and how can we apply these measurements to ability in the NFL?
