The 2024 NFL draft was a low point for running back prospects, with the first running back not going off the board until the 14th selection of the second round (Jonathon Brooks), the position's worst top draft position since 2014. Since Saquon Barkley in 2018, no running back has been selected inside the top five. Only Bijan Robinson (No. 8) has gone inside the top 10 since Barkley.

Boise State star Ashton Jeanty looks poised to reset the narrative and enter the league as the best can't-miss running back since the now Super Bowl-winning Barkley. A tantalizing prospect with an incredible mix of power and agility, Jeanty is expected to immediately impact whatever team ends up drafting him.
