Relatively Unproven Jadarian Price Could Shine in a Featured Role
Notre Dame running back Jadarian Price is squarely in the conversation to be the second running back selected in the 2026 NFL Draft despite never handling more than 10 offensive touches per game in any of his three collegiate seasons. Sharing a backfield with one of the best offensive players in this year's draft class, Jeremiyah Love, Price saw his career production nearly doubled by the presumed early first-round pick, but he was still productive on his limited workload. Price averaged more than six yards per carry in his collegiate career and reached double-digit touchdowns in 2025. As one of the best kick returners in the country, he displayed excellent vision and the ability to slash through shifting lanes without gearing down, traits that should translate in a larger role out of the backfield. Price has good size and runs low and behind his pads, and with the right landing spot, he could emerge from a lackluster running back class as Love's largest threat to finish the year as the rookie RB1.
