Of the 70 players selected on Day 2 of the 2025 NFL draft, only four were running backs. That's a low count, especially when you consider the lofty reputation of this backfield class. It's a good thing I didn't punch an over-under ticket on that Friday running back count; that ticket would be ripped now.
But man, did those Friday backs land in some nifty spots. Perfect fits, straight from the tailor. Maybe we'll be calling these guys the four aces by the middle of the next NFL season.

Although the shape of rookie receivers has changed in recent years, rookie running backs are still the players we have to do the most immediate fantasy scouting on.
