2027 BEST RECEIVING RUNNING BACKS
The receiving grade covers everything a back does as a pass catcher: route running out of the backfield and the slot, hands, and what he produces after the catch. It is the trait that keeps a back on the field on third down. Alvin Kamara (Tennessee) and Christian McCaffrey (Stanford) were complete receivers before they were complete backs.
Below, draft-eligible running backs are ranked by receiving grade, with rushing, tackle-breaking, hands, blocking and overall rating alongside.
