You know it’s a weak running back class when the top two prospects come from the same school. The Ravens are set at the position for 2026 with Derrick Henry, Justice Hill, and Rasheen Ali, but Henry is 32 years old and Hill is entering the final year of his contract. At some point, Baltimore will have to start thinking about the long-term future of their backfield, though it is worth noting that plenty of running backs can thrive while playing next to Lamar Jackson.

If the Ravens are looking for a true successor to Henry, this probably is not the year. A weak crop of talent also means that teams with stronger needs at the position will snap the top players up early. But with a glut of late Day 3 picks, they could certainly take a shot on a developmental running back on Day 3. Here are Baltimore Beatdown’s full rankings for the position:

1. Jeremiyah Love, Notre Dame (No. 13 on Baltimore Beatdown’s Big Board)

There is little else to say about Love at this point. He is an elite, complete, three-down running back prospect who will be very productive in the NFL, which is why he’s considered a top-10 lock. If by some miracle he is available when the Ravens are on the clock, it will be hard for Eric DeCosta to resist. But his phone should be ringing with some solid trade offers that offer more surplus value than using a top-15 pick on a running back.

Price was an efficient No. 2 to Love in South Bend, but that also makes him somewhat of an unknown. He’s an athletic runner who can make defenders miss and keep his balance through contact. He can make an impact on special teams, but offers little experience in the passing game.

Johnson also brings plenty pass-catching upside with 85 receptions for 656 yards in the last two years. His initial burst and agility are much better than his long speed, which can compound his issues with finding efficient rushing lanes.

Washington’s standout Combine performance shot him up draft boards, which will likely get him drafted before the Ravens have a shot at him. His size and athleticism – 4.33-second 40 and elite explosion numbers at 223 pounds – are an alluring combination. He is effective in short yardage situations, but tacklers will not bounce off him quite as much in the NFL. He will also need to diversify his usage as a pass catcher and become more reliable in protection.

Singleton is an exciting athlete with a limited feel for the running back position. He still had plenty of production at Penn State – including consistent contributions as a pass catcher and kick returner – but pure size and speed will not get him as far in the pros.
