Let’s take a look at the top 10 running backs.

1. Tank Bigsby

Auburn, Junior (139 points, 7 votes, 1st place)

The combination of Big Sby’s skills and power has made him the centerpiece of Auburn’s attack and one of the top running back prospects for the 2023 NFL Draft.

2. Chris Rodriguez Jr.

Senior Kentucky (134 points, 1st place 7 votes)

Rodriguez faces a question after being arrested in the spring on suspicion of drunk driving, but is the top return rusher in the SEC (1,379 yards, nine touchdowns).

3. Jahmyr Gibbs

Alabama, Junior (108 points, 1st place vote)

Gibbs has the speed of a home run that scares the defensive coordinator and makes a difference in the first year at the SEC after transferring from Georgia Institute of Technology.

4. Devon Achain

Texas A & M, Junior (107 points)

Achain, the star of the Aggie’s track team, is the team’s second at 910 yards, first with nine touchdowns last season and needs to take over the first role.
