RUNNING BACK RANKINGS 2024 NFL DRAFT

Heading into the 2024 NFL Draft, the running back class is shaping up to be a group of standout prospects with serious potential.
Blake Corum of Michigan left an indelible mark on the 2022 season, establishing himself as one of the top players in the nation. He's not the tallest at 5-foot-8 but compensates with a strong build at 210 pounds and displays exceptional lateral agility and quickness for the position. He put up an incredible 1463 yards at an impressive 5.9 YPC while adding 18 TDs on the ground.

Raheim Sanders from Arkansas, known as "Rocket," it's no surprise where he gets his nickname from. In the past season, Sanders recorded 16 carries that went for 20-plus yards, tied for the second-most in the Power Five. Standing at sturdy at 6-foot-2 and weighing 237 pounds, Sanders combines his linebacker-like size with impressive speed.

Braelon Allen from Wisconsin is a true workhorse at 6-foot-2, 235 pounds. His impressive 415 carries and 2,500 rushing yards in his first two college football seasons lead all-returning Power Five running backs. It will be interesting to see how he adapts to the new offensive system at Wisconsin in 2023.

Ohio State's TreVeyon Henderson, despite being sidelined by a foot injury, still managed to make an impression. He's a quality receiver with wideout-like qualities, he caught 27 in 2021 for 312 yards - expect for him to see even greater production in 2023
