2025 BEST RUN BLOCKING RUNNING BACKS

In the arena of the gridiron, running backs often bask in the glory of yards gained and touchdowns scored. However, there’s an understated art in their ability to block, creating lanes and opportunities for their fellow backfield mates. Historically, players like Mike Alstott (Purdue) and D'Andre Swift (Georgia), have epitomized the dual-role, masterfully carving out spaces for their teammates while also being potent ball carriers themselves.

Beneath, discover data illuminating the current college running backs who are skillfully navigating the art and impact of run blocking. Engage with statistics, such as lead block success rate and yards before contact for teammates, to discern which backs are not just carrying the load but also proficiently paving the way in the run game for their offensive counterparts.
