![]() He’s powerful, has a great change of direction, and is very elusive. Walker should be a bell-cow back right out of the gates as he showed you he could do it in college, having 23 or more carries in eight of his twelve games this season. Walker went from a relative unknown at Wake Forest to being one of the best backs in the country in his one year at Michigan State, leading all of college football with 89 broken tackles. Kenneth Walker III is a fun player to talk about and watch tape on. There’s no doubt about it, though he’s a better route runner than he gets credit for and is a vertical threat for an NFL team from Day 1.ħ) Kenneth Walker III, Michigan State (RB3) The torn ACL in his final game could be a bit of a concern, so it’ll be interesting to see which number receiver he is off the board come draft day. He’s expected to run under a 4.3 40, and teams will take notice, not to mention over 1,500 yards and 15 touchdowns for Alabama in 2021 as an attention grabber for teams. I expect Jameson Williams to be a trendy player discussed on Twitter after performing at the combine. He uses his hands well and should be a great possession receiver at the next level. In my mind, London is the best 50-50 catcher of the football in this draft and possesses a great release off the line of scrimmage. That’s what London did before sustaining an ankle fracture that made him miss the rest of the season. You’d think 88 catches for 1,084 yards and seven touchdowns is a pretty good season, right? Imagine doing that in just eight games. He consistently got through defenders with 74 broken tackles, had nearly 1,500 rushing yards, and set an FBS record scoring a touchdown in 24 straight games. He is essentially the most complete back in this class and should be an every-down back from day one. Hall is elusive, a great pass catcher, and has plenty of speed and power. Spiller should be a solid NFL contributor with the combination of his patience, burst, and vision.Īt 6’1 220, Breece Hall was a bruiser for Iowa State in 2021. I would love Spiller in a zone scheme for his best results, but I think he can succeed anywhere. He has excellent contact balance, average speed, and capability in the receiving game. Spiller is a powerful runner that can make defenders miss while also staying very patient in the hole letting his blockers set up. He’s the 1B to the 1A of Treylon Burks in this class for me.Īt the number three spot is my favorite running back in this class, and that is Isaiah Spiller. He also has what many quarterbacks love in making yards after the catch. Wilson has excellent footwork as he’s a polished route runner with plenty of speed to boot. Besides that, Wilson took the college football world by storm his senior season scoring 12 touchdowns and being the number one wide receiver for one of the most prominent schools in the nation. Here’s a fun fact about Wilson: He and Baker Mayfield played together in High School. Burks projects to be a first-round pick, and I expect someone who will make an immediate impact for an NFL team right away. Not just that, Burks can create excellent separation on his routes, highpoint the 50-50 balls, and has terrific physicality rarely seen in a wide receiving prospect. With a 6’3 frame and weighing in at 225 lbs, he has the right mix of size and speed to excel at the next level. ![]() ![]() The more I watch Burks, the more I’m convinced he’s the top skill player in this class.
