NFL 2021 Mock Draft: Possible Landing Spots for the Top 5 Running Backs

The running back class of the 2021 NFL Draft has a couple of players who we believe can take the league by storm. We take a look at the top 5 running backs and project their possible landing spots ahead the upcoming NFL season.

Khalil Herbert
Atlanta Falcons

Virginia Tech running back Khalil Herbert will be a welcome addition to the Atlanta Falcons roster. Standing at 5'9", Herbert's low centre of gravity helps the running back extend plays.

Kenneth Gainwell
Arizona Cardinals

A dual threat option, Memphis Tigers running back Kenneth Gainwell's ability to be useful on receiving routes as well makes his play style comparable to New Orleans Saints' star RB Alvin Kamara.

Javonte Williams
Pittsburgh Steelers

 

The Pittsburgh Steelers had the league's worst running game in 2020. Eager to make amends, the franchise could benefit from drafting Javonte Williams who shed 76 tackles last year.
