Our top running back prospects are selected after thousands of hours carefully scouting the most talented ball carriers in college football. Even though only about 20 will get selected in an average draft, dozens more are signed as free agents, and many more receive a training camp invite.

We’ll provide you with inside information to help you know who will be a star, who will be a bust, and which sleepers will shock the world.

MORE 2025 NFL DRAFT RANKINGS

Traits That Make a RB Prospect Great

Running backs are relatively easy to scout, as nearly everything they do can be seen on a standard TV broadcast. Contact balance, quickness, and vision are among some of the most important factors of scouting the top running back prospects.

Some of the factors we consider when scouting are included below.

Contact Balance

Nothing is more important for a running back prospect than contact balance. The ability to maintain a low center of gravity and stay on your feet when hit. It is somewhat teachable, but if they don’t run with good contact balance by the time they’re entering the NFL draft, it might be tough to add to their game.

Quickness

Quickness is more important than straight line speed for a running back. The ability to move side to side in a flash, scoot through a small opening, and juke out defenders is what will turn a 3 yard gain into a 6 yard gain, and that’s ultimately what running backs need to do.

Vision

Many running back draft prospects struggle with their vision and patience. If your offensive line doesn’t open a hole, it’s rarely a good idea to just ram into the back of the line. Having field vision to recognize cut back lanes and know when to hit the line of scrimmage is a game changer.

Ball Security

If a running back struggles with fumbles, it’s a one way path to the bench. Ball security is a problem that has plagued the career of many running back draft prospects, and being a natural mover with the ball in your hands is important to consider.

Overall Opinion of the 2025 RB Class

The 2025 running backs are potentially the best position group in the entire draft. Ashton Jeanty is a superstar leading the way, but the depth is what will make this class really special. There’s very little that separates the 5th ranked running back and the 20th ranked running back.
