DeWayne McBride is Worth the Risk—Rookie RBs Tiers 5-6
In my first article on the 2023 running back class, I ranked Bijan Robinson, Jahmyr Gibbs, and Zach Charbonnet each in their own tier. Those tier breaks reflect a lack of depth in the upper echelon of the class. However, in Tier 4, I wrote up a whopping seven RBs.
