2020 NFL Draft: Ranking the top 10 running back prospects

I had a difficult time deciding between Moss and Oklahoma State’s Chuba Hubbard at number seven. Hubbard is definitely the more exciting and explosive player, but Moss is probably the safer bet to produce at the next level. Regardless, Hubbard is still an extremely impressive back who could end up being one of the best offensive playmakers in the 2020 NFL draft class.

Hubbard is quick out of the blocks and shows explosive burst through the hole. He has easy agility, changing directions extremely well to work through space. He may not be the most powerful back, but he does fight hard for extra yardage when needed. Hubbard’s combination of speed and quickness gives him obvious upside at the next level. He is certainly an exciting player to keep an eye on.

Physically, Cam Akers has it all at the running back position. He has fantastic burst through the hole, impressive short-area quickness and good power at the point of attack. His lack of ball carrier vision is concerning, but Akers certainly has the skill-set to become a true playmaker at the next level.

Eno Benjamin is an impressive one-cut running back prospect who finds his hole quickly and gets through it immediately. He shows good burst through the hole and solid elusiveness in the open field. Benjamin also does a nice job of working through traffic, finding creases and consistently creating extra yardage after contact.

He is not the most naturally powerful runner, but Benjamin does do a nice job of fighting for yards. His contact balance is particularly impressive, as he does a fantastic job of keeping his feet and picking up more yards after contact than you would expect. With a good overall combination of speed, quickness and balance, Benjamin has plenty of natural upside at the next level.
