Every year, the SEC sends dozens of talented players off to the NFL ranks via the draft. The 2022 NFL Draft was no exception.
The SEC’s running back class was especially deep in 2022, and that’s already paying off as the NFL preseason continues.
As you can see below, NFL Network’s Kyle Brandt named 5 rookie running backs who are standing out this preseason, and the top 4 selections are all from the SEC:

Former Florida RB Dameon Pierce tops the list, followed by ex-Georgia RBs Zamir White and James Cook. Former Alabama RB Brian Robinson Jr. takes the fourth spot. Ex-Texas A&M RB Isaiah Spiller has been battling injuries, or he might be on the list, too.
It’s shaping up to be a big year for rookie runners from the SEC!
