The 2026 class may not have a clear RB1 — but it does have players with game-breaking traits.

Today we break down Notre Dame’s Jadarian Price:

• Film evaluation• Explosive profile vs complete back projection• Draft capital range• Fantasy insulation in a thinner RB class• Where he fits in rookie drafts right now

If this class lacks depth, correctly identifying which backs have true NFL athletic leverage becomes even more important. Price might be one of the swing players that shapes this RB tier.

In this episode, we’re continuing our 2026 rookie deep dive series with Nebraska RB Emmett Johnson.

In a class that lacks elite top-end RB certainty, Johnson becomes an important evaluation. We analyze:

• Film traits and running style• NFL projection and draft capital possibilities• Fantasy ceiling vs floor outcomes• How he stacks up against the rest of the 2026 RB landscape

In a “down” class, edges are created by correctly identifying role-based upside. Johnson could be one of those market inefficiencies.

Washington RB Jonah Coleman might be one of the most underrated running backs in the 2026 NFL Draft class and we’re putting the film under the microscope.

In this episode, we evaluate Coleman’s vision, contact balance, and physicality while addressing the questions scouts will ask about his explosiveness and long-speed. Coleman may not be flashy, but his game translates, and the path to a Day 2 NFL role is very real.

This is a traits-based evaluation with an eye toward NFL usage and draft capital.

📌 Topics include:

• What Coleman does well at an NFL level
• Role projection and draft-day fit
• Strengths vs limitations in today’s RB landscape
• Why he’s flying under the radar in 2026
