"2024 NFL Draft: Uncertain Top Prospect and Potential First Round Upset for Running Backs"

The 2024 NFL Draft's running back class lacks a definitive top prospect, potentially leading to a historically long wait for the first running back to be selected.

The lack of consensus on the top running back prospect has led to a wide range of opinions across personnel departments, with the class expected to offer depth in the middle rounds.
