Bishop Sankey might want to get some Champagne ready. His days as the lowest first-off-the-board running back in NFL Draft history might be numbered.
That bit of oddball draft trivia is a solid introduction to the 2024 running back class, with Sankey having headlined a group in 2014 that appeared to be riddled with deficiencies and lacking star power.
