Kaleb Johnson (PIT)

Kaleb Johnson is headed to Pittsburgh, where he’s expected to replace Najee Harris as the Steelers’ primary early-down back. Johnson was a committee back his first two years at Iowa, then broke out with 240-1,537-21 rushing last fall. He’s a powerful downhill runner who’s hard to bring down if you hit him high. It’s easy to envision him being an effective goal-line back in the NFL. A good fit for offensive coordinator Arthur Smith’s zone-running scheme in Pittsburgh, Johnson is a patient runner who reads his blocks well. He doesn’t have great long speed, doesn’t change speeds often or make sharp cuts. Still, Johnson landed in a favorable spot and could make a big impact right away.

Bhayshul Tuten (JAC)

The Jaguars took Bhayshul Tuten with one of the first picks of Day 3 of the NFL Draft. Jacksonville is likely to have a messy RB committee this year with Travis Etienne, Tank Bigsby and Tuten, but Tuten’s role could expand in 2026 if the Jaguars let Etienne walk after his contract expires at the end of 2025. Tuten has game-breaking, sub-4.4. speed. If he gets to the edge, look out. But Tuten is also an effective inside runner who bursts through holes and doesn’t go down easily.

Cam Skattebo (NYG)

After a monster season for Arizona State in which he had 293-1,711-21 rushing and 45-605-3 receiving, Cam Skattebo now heads to the Giants, where he’ll work in tandem with talented second-year RB Tyrone Tracy. Casual college football fans learned Skattebo’s name when he had 233 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns in Arizona State’s overtime loss to Texas in the College Football Playoffs. Skattebo’s ultra-physical style belies his 5-11, 215-pound frame. He has a zest for contact and isn’t going to be brought down with an arm tackle. Skattebo keeps his feet pumping through contact and always seems to be falling forward at the end of runs. This is one ultra-competitive cat. The best guess here is that Skattebo and Tracy split work pretty evenly, but it seems a good bet that Skattebo will a majority of the goal-line carries. Skattebo is worth a first-round pick in 1QB rookie drafts and a late first-round or early second-round pick in superflex rookie drafts.
