3. Alabama RB Jahmyr Gibbs
Jahmyr Gibbs is a special talent who would be the No. 1 running back prospect in most draft classes. Gibbs spent the first two years of his college career at Georgia Tech before transferring to Alabama. Gibbs has burst onto the national scene like many do at Alabama, and is currently firmly entrenched in the Heisman race.
The phenom running back prospect has 672 rushing yards and 6 touchdowns to pair with his 301 receiving yards and 3 touchdowns in eight games at Alabama this season. Gibbs may just be the fastest running back in the draft, and on this play, he displays his silly video game-like acceleration.

He also terrorized poor Arkansas, putting up a signature Alabama running back performance.

Selecting running backs out of Alabama has been a pretty safe bet, as Derrick Henry, Josh Jacobs, Najee Harris, Damien Harris, Mark Ingram, and Brian Robinson Jr. are all currently in the midst of very successfully NFL careers.
Gibbs projects to be an Alvin Kamara-type player, and with Brian Daboll wanting his offense to be a passing first offense, that kind of running back would be the perfect fit.
