Barkley Heads Talented Deep Running Back Class<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Saquon Barkley is our #1 running back entering the NFL Combine workouts. Barkley is a blue-chip prospect and the clear #1 back entering the workout phase of the scouting process. He is a complete back with the well-rounded talent to be the biggest impact performer in this rookie class. This year\u2019s RB group is a very deep class and should produce several interesting rookie pros through the middle into the late rounds. The NFL Combine workouts at this position will have a huge effect on the free agent running back group that will test the open market on mid March.<\/p>\n
