It seems inevitable that the Washington Commanders will select a running back in next week's 2025 NFL draft.
Throughout this entire pre-draft process, the Commanders have been linked to numerous running backs. This running back class is considered one of the best in years, with two, potentially more running backs expected to go in the first round.
Washington appears to be seeking a specific type of back. The Commanders' top four running backs next season will be playing on the final year of their contracts. Washington is reportedly seeking a running back who can make big plays, but also play every down.
