WORST Running Back Class EVER? NFL Draft RB Rankings After Star Jeremiyah Love

·33 min·2 clips

Matt Williamson calls Jeremiyah Love a tier above Ashton Jeanty and compares him to Bijan and Saquon.

1. Locked On NFL Six Pack centers on the 2026 NFL draft running back class and whether it is the "worst ever." 2. Brian Peacock hosts with Matt Williamson, and both are the show's NFL draft voices who rank backs and argue the positional value question. 3. The episode asks whether Jeremiyah Love is worth top-10 draft capital in a class that may have only one true superstar. 4. Peacock says running backs rarely change a bad team, and he cites Christian McCaffrey, Saquon Barkley, and Bijan Robinson as examples of elite prospects who did not instantly fix franchises. 5. Williamson says Love is "really really good" and puts him above Ashton Jeanty from last year. 6. Williamson compares Love's overall profile to Bijan Robinson and Saquon Barkley while stressing that Love affects the passing game as a receiver. 7. Peacock argues that positional value still matters, even for a back with Love's athletic profile and receiving talent. 8. The hosts discuss Love as a more explosive outside runner than inside runner, with Williamson saying he is longer-legged and more fluid than Darren McFadden. 9. They contrast Love with Jeanty by saying Jeanty was the stronger between-the-tackles runner and Love is the better perimeter playmaker. 10. Williamson says the drop from running back one to running back two feels larger than normal, but he still likes Jadarian Price's film. 11. Price's biggest issue in the discussion is the passing game, because Williamson says he does not see much receiving usage behind Love at Notre Dame. 12. The pair talk about Jonah Coleman from Washington as a 5-foot-8, 220-pound "bowling ball" style back who is hard to tackle. 13. Mike Washington Jr. from Arkansas gets attention for a 6-foot-1, 223-pound frame and a 4.33 forty with a 1.51 split and a 39-inch vertical. 14. Williamson links Washington's testing and tape to Kenneth Walker as a possible NFL comp. 15. The conversation turns to analytics, and Williamson and Peacock mention speed score as a simple but useful running back indicator. 16. They also criticize lazy comparisons, using Eli Heidenreich as an example of a player whose 4.44 time does not make him Percy Harvin. 17. The show has a loose, debate-driven feel with Peacock challenging draft value arguments and Williamson answering with player comps and tape notes. 18. It also mixes football talk with sponsor reads, mailbag setup, and off-topic stories about Tom Brady and the podcast network. 19. Listeners who follow NFL Draft backs, player comps, and positional-value debates will get the most from this episode. 20. Listeners wanting only game-by-game NFL coverage may skip the draft-heavy ranking segment.
