Before the 2025 NFL Draft kicks off, I want to share my running back rankings for this year’s class. It’s a deep and talented group and the Pittsburgh Steelers are surely to come away with a new back after doing extensive homework on the position.
Below are my own rankings of the backs I’ve watched. I couldn’t watch every single prospect and there are a handful of names missing from my list. SMU’s Brashard Smith and Oregon’s Jordan James are two examples. But others profiled them and in total, we’ve written 35 scouting reports on running backs this offseason.
