1. BIJAN ROBINSON
Robinson is the most sudden of the backs and seemed to get better as the day went on before sitting out the majority of the 7-on-7. Robinson turned it on during one-on-one drills, winning most of the reps he took. Few will remember him shutting it down early because of how good he was before he did so. Robinson is seen as an Ohio State lean.

2. DEANDRE BOYKINS
Boykins came into the event boasting a lofty rankling and backed it up during the event. A strong but shifty prospect, the 2021 four-star looked like the event’s most well-rounded running backs in spurts. And while he wasn’t quite as consistent as Robinson, he finished the daylong camp while many players shut it down early. He looked sharp In drills and turned in a solid performance during one-on-ones.
