"BackCAST projects running back success in the NFL based on statistics that have correlated with success in the past. A college running back with a good size/speed combination and a significant role in his college team's running game is more likely to succeed at the pro level."
"Love is a very good running back prospect, but BackCAST suggests that he's not generational. Although he is far ahead of the rest of this year's class, Love isn't even among the top-25 running back prospects since 1998 by BackCAST score."
Jeremiyah Love from Notre Dame is the only running back in the 2026 NFL draft class with a BackCAST score over 40%. While he is projected to succeed, he is not among the top-25 running back prospects since 1998. BackCAST evaluates running back success based on size, speed, and contribution to the college team's running game. Other running backs in the draft have positive projections but do not match Love's potential.
