2027 NFL Draft Rankings: Running Backs

NFL Draft Bible previews the top draft-eligible running backs for the 2027 NFL Draft.

Buckle up and brace for impact, in order to prepare for the 2027 running back class. This group features an abundance of bruisers who can bang it up the gut. Most notably, Miami feature back Mark Fletcher who carried the Hurricanes into the national championship with a valiant effort during the College Football Playoff.

For NFL teams in seek of a workhorse, no one carried the ball more than Kewan Lacy of Ole Miss a year ago. A gritty, hard-nosed runner, Lacy owns a knack for finding paydirt. Much of the same can be said for fellow SEC runner Ahmad Hardy of Missouri, who generates chunks of yardage after contact. Florida also has a thumper in 230-pound Jadan Baugh, who has popped onto the radar.

The vision and toughness of Texas Tech back Cameron Dickey was on full display last season, as he figures to be a focal point of the offense once again. In terms of overall physicality, that title may belong to LJ Martin of BYU, while the compact Justice Haynes transferred from Michigan, to Georgia Tech, as he seeks to replicate the mojo he had going prior to a late season-ending foot injury.
