Bijan Is the Best RB Prospect Since Saquon—Rookie RBs Tiers 1-3
Class Overview The 2023 running back class is top-heavy... but it's also deep. As I lay out in detail below, Bijan Robinson is arguably the best running back prospect since at least Saquon Barkley. He will be the consensus 1.01 in 1QB rookie drafts and likely the
