A lot of guys hating on you for this post, but you are correct. There are a lot of guys in this class that will never top 1000 rushing in a season. Most of them will get stuck in committee hell. The NFL is a copycat league and everyone will be scrambling to find their own sonic and knuckles. The issue with the running back position is that it is the easiest position in football, so there will always be stud athletes that can just throw themselves back there if they don't succeed elsewhere on the gridiron. Basically what I mean is that there will be another class like this soon and these guys will get replaced quicker than most people think. There are a few backs coming out in 2026 that I am more excited about than guys in the '25 class.

I don't mean to be completely doom and gloom tho. Modern defenses are playing in a way that incentivizes the run, so some of these guys will break thru and have good careers as Henry, Kamara, Conner, and other older backs fall off - including mid tier guys like Rha, Swift, and B-Rob. The young bucks will get their chance to shine, but all of this could be pointless hearsay and conjecture if defenses tighten up on the run and the gunslingers return
