2025 Senior Bowl week proves that forgotten-about position will force teams to make a lot of tough decisions come April
The RB position had taken a turn for the worse in the past decade. But recently, we saw a revival, with the 2023 NFL Draft producing two backs in the top 12 picks. And while this year may not have that quality, the quantity is through the roof and the Senior Bowl proved that with […]

Top RBs at 2025 Senior Bowl

In a crowded class with a lot of pure runners, Smith stands out thanks to his impressive display of versatility and a wide variety of routes, but his build is reminiscent of what could be a three-down back in the league.
2. Damien Martinez, Miami
Martinez is a vertical runner that can split the seams and get vertical for six in an instant. But where he won people over in Mobile was by showcasing one of the most important traits a back can have: Pass protection
Martinez was a breath of fresh air as a home runner hitter in Mobile. When we talk about big play threats from the backfield, they look, run, and play like Damien Martinez.
1. Trevor Etienne, Georgia
The former Flordia Gator turned Georgia Bulldog was the talk of the town through his three days in Mobile. He was fast, and physical and won just about every one-on-one that he repped during the week.
One of the consistencys from the first two days of practice is that it seems no one in Mobile can cover Georgia running back Trevor Etienne. He continues to shine as a pass catcher and has proved to be one of the best in this class in that regard. Today, he also made plays between the tackles and showed that he deserves more people's attention when discussing this strong RB class.
