2023 NFL Draft: February Top 10 Running Backs

by James Layton

I really like the depth of this year’s running back class. With the league going with a more balance offense and running the ball more, we might get a few backs drafted with in the top 50 picks.

The senior bowl really highlighted the depth this year. Tulane’s Tyjae Spears really improved his draft stock this past week.

Let’s get into the rankings.

  1. Bijan Robinson, Texas
  2. Jahmry Gibbs, Alabama
  3. Zach Charbonnett, UCLA
  4. Israel Abanikanda, Pittsburgh
  5. Zach Evans, Ole Miss
  6. Devin Achane, Texas A&M
  7. Kenny McIntosh, Georgia
  8. Tyjae Spears, Tulane
  9. Tank Bigsby, Auburn
  10. Chase Brown, Illinois

A couple of names that were so close to making this list are Oklahoma’s Eric Gray and Texas Roschon Johnson.

Let me know how you would have ranked them.
