5 RB Prospects to Watch at 2026 NFL Combine

The 2026 NFL Combine kicks off with testing for tight ends and defensive backs, though the spotlight remains on running backs. With the Tampa Bay Buccaneers potentially losing Rachaad White in free agency, several top prospects are under the microscope.

Tight ends and defensive backs take the field Friday, but running back drills will be the focus for many teams looking to replace Rachaad White in Tampa Bay. Five prospects are expected to make a significant impact during testing.

Notre Dame's Jeremiyah Love is a top-tier talent expected to dominate, while Jadarian Price aims to solidify his spot as the RB2. Mike Washington Jr. and Jonah Coleman are also in the mix, alongside Pittsburgh's undersized but determined Desmond Reid.
