2020 RB rankings- Lets Begin
Rankings are broken down below
The main point of this model is to find rb1 archetypes. 50 is the threshold that rbs need to hit for them to have ~90% percent likelihood of becoming an rb1 (97.5%when you exclude running backs whose careers where ended/plagued by injuries or ended by other various means)...
Tiers are constructed according to the threshold stated above but pasted that it becomes situational and talent based which, I will admit, tends to be subjective. Also just because prospects may have low score does not determine productivity down the line...
It is more of telling the likelihood of them becoming an rb1. Much of an rbs production can be attributed to their situation and competition as well as their talent and overall skill set. This is all taken into account when ordering the rookies within a tier...
!!Risk Warning!!- Well Swift and Gibson have scored quite high in my model and I would like to put them in the tier above. Their profiles are in uncharted territory among prospect profiles which is made up of over 225 profiles and dates back to 2004...
For this reason I had to put them in a tier of their own. Swift is obviously a highly touted prospect and you may say it’s crazy to have Dillon over him. But we need to recognize the risk he carries as a prospect which is reflected in his rankings...
Thank you for your time and I hope you’ve enjoyed
