2025 NFL Draft Class by Position: Running Backs, Part Two

If you need a refresher on the context for the 2025 rookie running back class — and the evaluation of the top five prospects — hit up last week's Part One article. Ashton Jeanty, Omarion Hampton, Quinshon Judkins, TreVeyon Henderson, and Kaleb Johnson set a high starting bar for this group, so the depth of the position, which we cover below, could help elevate this group to "one of the best in recent memory" territory.
We won't break down every name with a chance to be drafted, but we'll cover the important ones and shout out a few sleepers and dart-throw names to know as well.
Without further ado, let's get to the goods.
After the five rookie draft first-rounders we discussed last week — all of whom feel likely to go day one or early day two in the NFL draft — there is a significant drop to the next tier in this class. Which prospects compose that tier really depends on who you ask, but two names appear frequently enough to deserve a look in the late second round of rookie drafts.
Pick Projection: Round 2 - Round 4
Comps: Jay Ajayi, David Montgomery w/ Burst
