Devin Neal, RB, Kansas
Current projection: Late Day 2, early Day 3At 5-foot-11, 215 pounds, Neal is a stoutly built rusher who is a versatile threat out of the backfield. He ran for 1,266 yards and 16 touchdowns this past season while adding a career-high 254 receiving yards and one score. Neal has good vision and understands how to let blocks set up before accelerating through creases. His contact balance also stands out, as he had 725 rushing yards after first contact this season (18th in the FBS).
Scouts told me this week that Neal currently has a fourth-round grade. But his stock could rise at the Senior Bowl if he's able to show versatility in the passing game as a blocker and pass catcher. Despite it being a secondary part of his game at Kansas (24 catches in 2024), Neal has good hands and can be used on creative routes as a mismatch against linebackers and safeties. He has the potential to be a good addition to any running-back-by-committee approach, serving as a rushing and receiving option.
