2025 NFL Draft Prospects: Running Back

2/10/24: In 2023, Henderson averaged 5.9 yards per carry for 926 yards and 11 touchdowns. He had 19 receptions for 229 yards as well. Henderson put together an impressive freshman year in 2021 and was too talented to keep on the bench behind more experienced upperclassmen. He averaged 6.8 yards per carry that season for 1,248 yards and 15 touchdowns on only 183 carries. Henderson also was an impressive receiving back, snatching 27 passes for 312 yards and four scores. Before getting injured in 2022, he averaged 5.3 yards per carry for 571 yards and six touchdowns. With his impressive skill set, Henderson has upside to explode in 2024.

2/10/24: Edwards took 119 carries for 497 yards – 4.2 average – and five touchdowns in 2023. He also caught 30 passes for 249 yards. Edwards was the backup to Blake Corum over the past few seasons, but Edwards was superb to close out 2023 and 2022, showing a real combination of size and speed. He was phenomenal in the 2022 games against Ohio State (22-216-2), Purdue (25-185-1) and TCU (23-119). Edwards has quality size and impressive speed.

2/10/24: After the 2023 season, Etienne transferred to Georgia from Florida. With the Gators in 2023, Etienne averaged 5.7 yards per carry for 753 yards and eight touchdowns. He also notched 21 receptions for 172 yards. Etienne played really well as a freshman and produced for the Gators despite not getting a big work load. He averaged 6.1 yards per carry on 118 carries for 719 yards and six touchdowns. He also had nine catches for 66 yards. Etienne is a physical runner with a strong build and quickness.

2/10/24: Johnson averaged 5.4 yards per carry in 2023 for 817 yards and five touchdowns. Trevor Etienne was the feature back, while Johnson served as the No. 2, but Johnson would have been the starter at most schools. He is a tough downhill runner who picks up yards after contact and has quickness in a strong build. Now that Etienne has transferred to Georgia, Johnson should be the workhorse for the Gators in 2024.

Johnson followed head coach Billy Napier from La.-Lafayette to Florida, and Johnson hit the ground running in the SEC. While serving in a platoon backfield, Johnson averaged 5.4 yards per carry in 2022 for 841 yards and 10 touchdowns. Johnson would have been the feature back for most programs, but at Florida, he split carries with Trevor Etienne and running quarterback Anthony Richardson. As a freshman with the Ragin’ Cajuns, he averaged 5.2 yards per carry for 838 yards and 12 touchdowns. Johnson is a strong, downhill, physical runner who is tough to tackle. He could help himself to show more receiving ability.

7/17/23: Williams was a backup at Alabama in 2023, averaging 5.0 yards per carry for 560 yards and five touchdowns. He also took 11 receptions for 58 yards and a score. Williams would have been the feature back at most schools. He has a strong build and quickness.
