Size: Bernard is officially listed at 5’8” but weighs 202 pounds. I would personally like to see him add a little more weight to his frame, but packing 200+ pounds onto a 5’8” frame is no joke. He may not be a prototypical power back, but I personally really like shorter, compact running backs and the NFL has seen a [...]
Size: Bell has all the size you could want in a NFL running back. He is listed at 6’1”, 230 pounds and runs with surprisingly good pad level for a running back that tall. He is in very good shape and presents a tough frame to bring to the ground when he’s hitting the hole. His size can be a [...]
Size: Michael has nearly prototypical size for the running back position, at least in my opinion. He is listed at 5’10”, 220 pounds and essentially looks like a create-a-player on a football video game. He’s got a strong lower body as well as a strong upper body. When you draw up a NFL running back there’s a good chance he [...]
Size: Lacy has fantastic size for a running back and he combines that with very impressive athleticism. He is listed at 5’11”, 231 pounds and he is an absolute chore to get to the ground. Thanks to his size and speed he is very hard to bring down, particularly if he has you one on one in the open field. [...]
Size: Montee Ball doesn’t have elite size, but he’s not a small back. At 5’10”, 214 pounds he may not be huge but he does have strong legs, exhibits the strength to stiff arm, and has shown he can run through contact, drive his legs and gain extra yards. Ball definitely has NFL running back size. Speed: I knew Ball [...]
Size: Johnson has prototypical left tackle size as he weighed in at 6062 (6’6” ¼), 302 pounds with 35 inch arms. He needs to get stronger in the lower body as he is noticeably thin in his lower half, but he has the frame to add more weight. Athleticism: Johnson is a very athletic player and you can see that [...]
Size: Eric Fisher has an ideal left tackle frame. He was officially listed at 6072 (6’7” ¼), 305 pounds at the Senior Bowl weigh-in in January. Playing at that height means he will have some natural issues with pad level, but he’s a natural knee bender so I don’t think it will be a huge problem for him. Fisher has [...]
Size: Joeckel is listed at 6’6”, 310 pounds but we will have his official measurement in a couple weeks at the NFL Combine at which point I will update this section. I think he will likely be an official 6’5” and about 310 pounds. He has prototypical left tackle size and length even though he could stand to get stronger [...]

He was rated as the seventh best back in the state of Florida and was also rated as the state’s eighth best all-purpose back by the same publication. After receiving offers from [...]

Lacy was also rated No. 116 overall by the same publication. After rushing for 1,800 yards as a high school junior, he would succumb to injury in his senior year after just seven games rushing [...]
