7 Biggest RB Winners At 2025 NFL Combine

The 2025 NFL Draft features a historic pool of running back prospects and they did not disappoint at this year’s NFL Combine. They were officially the fifth position group to conduct on-field workouts following the defensive linemen, linebackers, defensive backs, and tight ends. Saturday was a loaded day, with running backs preceding quarterbacks and wide receivers.

On-field workouts and testing results offer the prospects an opportunity to increase their pre-draft stock. Running backs of all shapes and sizes wowed scouts in attendance. We've identified which ball-carriers took the most advantage of their participation at this year’s NFL Combine.

Omarion Hampton, RB, North Carolina

Omarion Hampton confirmed that he’s in contention for RB1 in this class. Hampton posted outstanding jumps of 38 inches in the vertical and a second-best 10-foot-10 broad. He later ran a 4.46 at a rocked-up 221 pounds. An obvious blend of size, speed, and power makes the North Carolina standout a three-down playmaker.

Quinshon Judkins, RB, Ohio State

Quinshon Judkins led all running backs in the broad jump with an eye-opening 11-foot result. He showcased similar explosion by leaping a fourth-best 38.5-inch vertical (tied with Donovan Edwards and his teammate TreVeyon Henderson). Judkins also ran a 4.48 at 221 pounds, putting a bow on an eye-opening afternoon.

Bhayshul Tuten, RB, Virginia Tech

Bhayshul Tuten began the afternoon by leaping a position-high 40.5-inch vertical, and a 10-foot-10 broad jump, posting 96th-percentile results in both drills. He saved the best for last, topping his peers again by running the 40-yard dash in a blazing-fast 4.32 seconds, with a chart-topping 1.49 10-yard split. Tuten blends short-area explosiveness with long speed and contact balance. His pre-draft stock just increased tenfold.

TreVeyon Henderson, RB, Ohio State

TreVeyon Henderson enjoyed an all-around terrific showing. The Buckeyes' weapon ran in the low 4.4s (4.43) with an elite 1.52 10-yard split. Henderson did not disappoint in a single drill, adding leaps of 38.5 inches in the vertical, and a 10-foot-8 broad jump to his overall testing totals, top-five results in the portions that measure lower-body explosion.

RJ Harvey, RB, UCF

RJ Harvey’s 4.40 40 at 205 pounds was notable for NFL decision-makers. His 38-inch vertical came half an inch from a top-four result. The UCF rusher thrives on tape when showcasing lateral agility and jump-cut ability. Pairing that with long speed and vision, it's easy to envision the experienced playmaker carving out a role for himself in a pro backfield.

Raheim Sanders, RB, South Carolina

Raheim Sanders reached a top speed of 23.55 mph, the fastest of any participating running back. That’s terrifying, considering Sanders tipped the scales at 217 pounds, albeit less than his advertised playing weight. The Rockledge, Florida native ran a 4.46 40.

DJ Giddens, RB, Kansas State

DJ Giddens was among the position's surprise performers in the explosion drills, finishing second in the broad (10-foot-10) and vertical (39.5 inches) jumps. Scouts were eager to see how that lower-body flexibility translated to the 40, where they had questions about sustainable speed. Giddens eased those concerns, running a 4.43 at 212 pounds, an outstanding time given his build.
