Ranking the 2025 RB draft class: Ashton Jeanty the next LT?

The advanced talent that characterized many of the modern American Football Association drafts may be in other “skill” sites, but this is not the case in running, as there will be many candidates at the beginning of the front lines in 2025.
grant Sacon BarclayHistorical campaign for Super Bowl hero Philadelphia Eagles This season, it is appropriate for me to remind me of this category a little of the 2018 crop, which was chosen No. 2 in general New York Giants.
Emotional fans may remember that two other contestants – Rashad Benny (Seattle, No. 27 in general) and Sony Michel (New England, 31) were formulated in the first round 2018, while eight appearances of the painting came out within the first 71 selection. This is approximately 50 choosing earlier in most years. Two appearances were taken only on this last spring: Jonathan Brooks (Panthers, No. 46 in general) and Try Benson (Cardinals, 66).
Fortunately, like the 2018 category, the group of their appearances for this year is talented and deep. In fact, there will be contributors to the American Football Association well -available on the second day who did not receive this article. Ultimately listed are some of the many middle and late candidates.
But first, here are the best running horizons in the NFL 2025 draft, along with the draft grades, the Comps Player and Best Team.

Like Barkley in 2018, Jeanty is universally considered as the highest and considered one of the 10 best studies. It offers an exceptional blend of explosion, vision, communication balance and the speed of separation, and running to make gains of 50 yards in nine than his 14th games in 2024.re is more impressive when you think that he led the nation with 374 attempts. It is fast enough to overcome ocean lines players and has an impressive awareness of the Judicial corridors.
Simply put, Jeanty is the bell cow and a large game specialist. He is a future candidate All-PRO can be a privileged face. If it will continue somehow to No. 12 in general (As expected in this fake draftJerry Jones and cow sponsors should be running – to the platform.

With all the due respect of the above mentioned, Hampton offers a more interesting mix of this year of size, speed and strength – a mix that can control it in the first round. Some questioned the quality of adaptation to Hampton with the boxes stacked in 2024 with Qurtubbere Drake May North Carolina left early for the US Football Association. Hampton was handed over again, as the Administrative Coordination Committee in the Rasta Square led for the second year in a row before leaving UNC early, after obtaining 3565 yards and 36 touching land in only three seasons.
For a big man, hampton can really accelerate from the second to the third gear, and to stick to the colds in the pieces. Hampton plays with his frame, as it extends through communication and does not show any concern for his well -being with almost reckless leaps to the defenders to get every inch of the meatics. Hampton is a blue -collar quarrel with a ready -made support game.

It was built well and a more explosion of many relatively heavy feet Hawkeyes From the past, Johnson was the This RB Class Breakout star, who conversated in the first round with 1537 yards, very registered, 21 yards and 21 declines. It explodes to the daylight well for a large back, but it is a talent in having thinness through traffic-while keeping his feet with shoulders and high penetration to penetrate the crowding-which really stands out. It is one of these rare adult back who arouses attention from every defender.
However, it will be the best for him in a heavy scheme like Iowa. Johnson has not been asked to do a lot in the gaming game in the college and he could need a crashing cycle if he is expected to contribute to this field directly to the American Football Association. Think about this, according to PFF, Johnson, a lawyer in Pass Pro only 52 times in the three years in Iowa. All others who do this article recorded at least 80 at least 80 attempts to prevent in 2024 alone.

Given that he controlled the elite competition in two very different schemes, Jodkins will be seen by some as the safest of the jogging category for this year. He was immediately distinguished in Ole Miss in 2022, when SEC was led in the squares of rushing (1567) and landing (16) before moving to Ohio before the 2024 campaign season in a successful endeavor to win a national championship. Share the back stadium with Trevion Henderson – Fellow of the Future of NFL Starter – Reduce the Judkins Action (194 attempt, 1060 yard, 14 TDS), but the scout will estimate that he will enter the positives with a lot of tire tires. He connected the rock music at least 20 times in 14 games over two seasons in Ole Miss, but he had no more than 17 touches in any game for Bucceyes.
If it has the opportunity to be the bell cow of the American Football Association, it may prove that he is a better player at the level of professionals. Judkins has a good sophisticated frame to deal with a large work burden and is a classic tilted that climbs on its way through the traffic, and the bastards are held in long and strong steps.

Henderson may lack the typical framework and highlights the movements of some of his peers, but it is ready as it is, as it combines instincts and durability and diversity three to the bottom. Henderson is a heavy hammer on skis, alternating on his way through defenders or leaving them frozen with a stop balance and exploding, which makes him play faster, which will likely test him. It has the true separatist ability, which may be surprised because it is sometimes equipped as a specialist between imagination. The average Hinderson reached 7.1 yards per wandering in 2024-which is most of any operation on this list-highlighted by a pair of Skambers 50 yards against Oregon.
Instead of tampering when Buckeyes brought the above mentioned as a transport, Henderson welcomed him and became one of their best appearances for this year in the traffic game, and they showed soft hands as a future and physical as a besiege for an immediate playing time to play immediately in the American Football Association.

This afternoon NIL and marketing deals, it is surprising that Sampson did not fly support from Maytag or General Electric Gassations because it has the elite “rotation cycle” for the star running category for this year. The Breakout 2024 campaign took advantage of the US Football Association early, as SEC led 1491 hasty yards and 22 declines last season. Before that, a lot of great playing taste showed 6.1 YPC and 13 hasty declines in a limited duty during its first two seasons.
Sampson lacks the largest part of most other contestants on this list, but it is very slippery through the hole, leaving the beloved beloved of impressive leaps and 360 -degree full sessions. It may not prove that it is not a real bottom in the positives, but its great potential may be an ideal final touch for the crime that needs more fiery power.

With only two seasons against the FBS competition, TUTEN is one of the land cards in this year, but its ability to influence the game as a number, the NFL attention is brought. Toten began his university career in North Carolina A & T, with honors for all America in 2022 with the fifth highest total of rush (1,363 yards) in the history of the school. It has achieved immediate success after moving to Virginia Tech after a year, as all 13 games began and recorded 1633 yard multi -purpose, including recession competitions from 94 and 99 yards against ACC Virginia, Virginia and Virginia and Florida staterespectively.
Totten is not cleaner on the tape, and sometimes their appearances run from its blockers in search of the big play rather than just diluting its head to get a few difficult arenas. He possesses soft hands, durability in the elite protection and elite speed. It was recorded in 7.03 seconds in the 60 -meter race as a high school preparation in New Jersey in 2021.

Although the straight speed is sure to get a lot of the above’s interest in the exercises, the SKATTEBO stocks can actually slip in the coming months because it may be slower than the best RB horizons for this year. If this is already the case, the scouts must ignore their final hours and instead they refer to the dominant tape of Skattebo in Arizona (and pre -Sacramento), where it showed an exceptional level, the balance of communication and the desire to raise 5772 yards of the fight and 51 landing . The heart of the ASU band, which was established pre -season expectations to win the Big 12, and won the American Honors in 2024 by breaking the records of the falling school at all with 1711 yards and 21 touches of land.
SKATTEBO may lack the light of the side movement that most teams are looking for, but it can be almost unable. Some teams give priority to the appearance who run anger. Skattebo plays with a virgin that will help him outperform the draft hole. It is a mass of granite that does not simply back down.
