One of the many storylines to come out of the NFL Draft is which players are seen as replacements for those already on a roster, and for the Baltimore Ravens, this is exactly what has happened.
Clemson running back Adam Randall was selected in the fifth-round, so he isn't exactly set to push Derrick Henry in 2026...but what about beyond?
A former receiver, Randall, coming off the best season of his college career (814 yards, 10 TDs, plus 254 receiving yards, 3 TDs), comes to the Ravens looking to make a name for himself.
And for general manager Eric DeCosta, he likes everything about Randall.
"Adam's a guy as a former wideout. He has a varied skillset," DeCosta said. "He does a lot of different things well. We think the best is yet to come with him as a running back. He has really good hands. He can run routes. He's a possible kick returner -- a special teams guy. He has a great body and good measurables, and we're excited to see what he can do. He's kind of a 'jackknife.' He's a phenomenal kid. We think [he's] one of the best makeups in this draft."
