Someone that deserves a good look is Trey Bensonin the late 3rd. He runs like a younger, more explosive Gus Bus. His vision is fantastic, big string guy that won't go down easy, and can very quickly eat up five to ten yards in a run. Also has okay hands as a check down option, and is a good blocker.

Also when you look at the highlights it straight up looks like the Ravens rushing offense.

I hope he plays against Georgia in their bowl game. You would think the players from FSU would like to make a statement and with a pretty weak top part of the RB class (I don't think one will get drafted in the 1st) he could catapault himself to the 2nd rd. Hopefully we don't need to pick one that high.

FSU is gonna get smoked by Georgia.

They do not care about this bowl game and rightfully so.

Will be interesting to see where he goes. Fun player but decently heavy usage and going to be 24 years old as a rookie.

Feels like an early 3rd rounder for me.

The more film I watch on these 2024 running backs, the more I feel like this class is a weak class overall. Every prospect got something iffy about them that makes me go “eh.”

Anyone else feel this way? Maybe I should be looking at the 2024 free agent list over the draft list for our RB needs.

Give me Saquon or Jacobs!

There's not really a collectively agreed upon top end talent this year at the position it seems. I'm sure someone will sneak up late like they seemingly always do, but this looks like a strong position for day 2/early day 3 at quick glance this year.

Class is so weak I deadass might put Bucky RB1. Henderson and Benson move me a bit but one is oft injured and the other doesn't really feel like a go to guy.

that seems like a shame to me - if it's a good class i could see us double-dipping honestly

doing some WR work at the moment but RBs on deck next i think - will be interesting to see if there's anyone that moves me

I dont think age matters as much for RBs compared to other positions considering most teams are reluctant to give RBs a second contract. His usage is a different story though.
