Hey!
The NFL Combine always creates a few massive value swings each year.
Here are 3 running backs whose stock is exploding after what we just saw in Indy:
#3 Seth McGowan
McGowan helped himself in a big way with a 4.49 forty at 215 pounds.
But the real story is the explosiveness. He posted a Top 1% all-time burst score and finished 1st among RBs in vertical, with a jump that ranks among the 5 best ever at the position.
He also produced at Kentucky with 725 yards and 12 TDs, but teams will still have to vet his off-field red flags during the pre-draft process…
#2 Adam Randall
Randall is one of the weirdest prospects in the best way: a former WR who’s now a 232-pound back.
He ran 4.50 at his size, which is a Top 5% all-time speed score, and he also led all the RBs with 26 bench reps while flashing real burst.
That’s speed, power, size and explosiveness. Extremely rare.
Randall produced 1,000+ total yards and 13 TDs at Clemson last season, and in a weaker RB class, this type of Combine can push him into real Day 2 draft capital…
#1 Mike Washington Jr.
Washington was the clear RB winner of the entire Combine.
He ran a 4.33 forty at 223 pounds, giving him one of the best speed profiles we’ve ever seen at the position.
Then he stacked it with elite jumps, 2nd in both the vertical and broad, earning a perfect 10.0 Relative Athletic Score, the best ever among 2,000+ RBs tested since 1987.
He also produced at Arkansas with 1,000+ yards on 6.4 yards per carry last season. This Combine may have pushed him into the conversation as the RB2 in this class…
