NFL Draft Rankings: A Look at the Top 10 Running Backs in the 2025 NFL Draft According to Pro Football Focus Rankings
Published18 Apr 2025
The 2025 NFL Draft is less than a week away. The next set of NFL stars will take the stage at the Green Bay Packers’ TitleTown facility in Green Bay, WI beginning on Thursday, April 24.
All eyes in Philadelphia will be on what the Philadelphia Eagles do with the No. 32 overall pick in the NFL Draft. Will the defending Super Bowl champions trade up, trade back, or stand pat and close out night one of the NFL Draft? Chances are the Birds will not be drafting a running back in the first few rounds after signing superstar Saquon Barkley to a massive extension, signing AJ Dillon as a free agent and drafting Will Shipley last year.
Former Boise State Broncos running back Ashton Jeanty is expected to be the first back off the board on Thursday night in Green Bay. The record setting runner is expected to be a top 10 pick.
Here’s a look at how Pro Football Focus graded the position and who’s their Top 10 heading into the 2025 NFL Draft.
