Bleacher Report

Running back isn't viewed the same way at the collegiate or professional levels as it used to be. The position is often described as devalued. A rare talent is necessary for a ball-carrier to draw national interest and initiate significant ethusiasm among NFL draft circles. "First off, Ashton Jeanty? Best player in the country. Next question," Boise State Broncos head coach Spencer Danielson told reporters after last Saturday's game. The non-Power Four ball-carrier is quickly becoming a torchbearer, not just for his position group, but for a unique draft class where a running back, defensive tackle, safety and hybrid cornerback/wide receiver currently appear to be top-10 locks. Jeanty is special, hence why he's the first prospect to appear twice among Bleacher Report's weekly trending up list. Once again, the B/R Scouting Department of Brandon Thorn, Cory Giddings, Dame Parson and Matt Holder provided thoughts on who impressed or disappointed coming out of Week 6.
