At this year's NFL combine, Ashton Jeanty highlighted the growing value of running backs in the league, referencing the impact of Saquon Barkley in leading the Eagles to a Super Bowl victory. Jeanty, who had a standout season as a Heisman Trophy finalist, believes he is entering the league at a pivotal moment for running backs. Notably, this year marks the 30th anniversary since the Bengals last took a running back first overall, though current predictions indicate a quarterback will lead the draft.
"It's a great time to be coming into this league. I can see the value of running backs is definitely going to go back up. Definitely coming back in at a perfect time."
"This year marks the 30th anniversary of the Cincinnati Bengals selecting Penn State's Ki-Jana Carter No. 1 in the draft, which was the last time a running back was taken with the top pick."
