t’s still early in the college football season, but now is as good of a time as any to update individual position rankings for the 2012 NFL Draft.
2012 NFL Draft running back rankings: Trent Richardson and a deep class
If a lot of the juniors enter the draft, this is going to be as deep of a class as we saw this year. After Alabama's Trent Richardson, it's pretty wide open. Personally, I'm a big fan of David Wilson of Virginia Tech. Others like game breakers like Cyrus Gray of Texas A&M, LaMichael James of Oregon or Andre Ellington of Clemson. I'm interested to see how you have this class ranked.
Also note redshirt sophomore Lamar Miller of Miami. Redshirt sophomores aren't in the rankings until after the underclassmen declaration date, but he'll be near or at the top of this list.
Note: The position rankings aren’t currently in line with the site’s top 200. After each position ranking is released, a new top 200 will be published.
