2025 NFL Free Agency and Draft: RB

I don't see the Vikings adding a running back in free agency. There's just not much out there. Even if we bring back one or both of Jones and Akers, I think the Vikings will take a RB with one of their first two picks. From this list, I love Jeanty and Henderson. Unimpressed by Skattebo and Neal. With the depth of this class, there's probably going to be good backs still on the board after the draft. One sleeper I like right now is Montrell Johnson, Jr out of Florida.

I thought if he came in under 5-9 it could drop him a bit. He's still RB1 by a mile IMO, but I wonder if this takes a little shine off.

Woof.

About what most of us saw on tape. 

Judkins 4.48 at 221 pounds is a nice time

Exactly. Thor Nystrom and a few others have been touting Johnson as RB2 and a 4.43 guy. I don't know how you can watch 5 minutes of his clips and say that. I thought he'd be 4.53 at best. He's even slower than that.

I think the 5-8 will help Harvey a bit since he's been listed before as 5-7.

Glad I didn’t prop bet him at sub 4.4. Mildly disappointed.

Are you betting on these? I didn't even know that was a thing until about a week ago. 4.41 ain't slow tho. Still love the guy after the buckeyes and ahead of Kaleb Johnson.

Underrated back here IMO. Catches the ball like a WR.

Naw. Really should have placed some props.

One of about a half dozen backs we aren’t really talking about. Just nuts. This class is freaking insane.

Weird highlight reel. What do you notice?

Frequently mock Tahj Brooks to us as a 2nd back. He'd be a nice pairing with a Henderson or a Harvey.

After Jeanty, give me either Omarion Hampton or Quinshon Judkins: I'd be ecstatic with either. I wouldn't take Kaleb Johnson as an UDFA.

Yeah, I’d be down with a RB from Miami.
