It is time for another rankings article for the 2021 NFL Draft. If you want to see my last article for my quarterback rankings, you can find it here. Without further ado let’s look at the running backs.

Next quarterback up to analyze is none other than Tua Tagovailoa, Alabama's golden child. We all know the story, Jalen Hurts was struggling a bit vs Clemson in the national championship so Tua takes over in the second half then throws the game-winning 41-yard TD pass in overtime.
Then he played lights out all year (only losing to Clemson in the national championship rematch) which got people so excited all you could see where signs "Tank for Tua" for all NFL teams that began the year losing.
A lot can happen in a year, though. Progress isn't always linear and sometimes...
