Kyren Williams omitted from 2026 NFL running back rankings

In a recent poll conducted by ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, NFL executives, coaches, and scouts ranked the top ten running backs, with Kyren Williams not making the list. Williams, who has surpassed 1,100 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns in each of the last three seasons, was recognized as an honorable mention alongside Josh Jacobs and Quinshon Judkins. Despite his achievements, evaluations highlight concerns about his high-end traits compared to other players. The rankings place Bijan Robinson at the top, followed by Jahmyr Gibbs and Saquon Barkley. Christian McCaffrey is the sole other representative from the NFC West in the top ten, at number four.
