Position: Running back
What scouts like: A prototypical modern running back, Barkley has the speed, explosiveness and vision to become a star. He’s been favorably compared to Ezekiel Elliott, who finished third in the NFL MVP voting as a rookie last fall.
In 2017: Barkley had a terrific start to the season, and while he faded down the stretch, his totals are still outstanding: 1,134 rushing yards, 594 receiving yards, and 19 total touchdowns.
