Ravens select Clemson RB Adam Randall with No. 174 pick in NFL Draft

The Baltimore Ravens closed out their fifth round in the 2026 NFL Draft by selecting Adam Randall with the No. 174 overall pick. Randall brings a unique blend of size, physicality, and versatility, giving Baltimore another dynamic option in the backfield. A positionless player, Randall started as both a wide receiver and running back across a four-year career with the Tigers. Last season, as Clemson's primary running back, Randall recorded 814 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns. He also recorded 254 receiving yards, the most of his career, and caught three touchdowns from veteran quarterback (and former roommate) Cade Klubnik.

Despite battling injuries including a torn ACL and a broken hand, Randall wrapped up his Clemson career with 787 receiving yards, 858 rushing yards, and 15 total touchdowns, becoming a permanent team captain.

At Clemson, Randall showcased his dual-threat ability, becoming just the fourth player in program history to record at least 750 rushing yards and 750 passing yards. His ability to contribute in multiple ways — whether as a runner, passer, or gadget option — adds another layer to an already creative offensive scheme.

For Baltimore, this selection is about adding a different type of playmaker who can create mismatches and keep defenses guessing, while subbing in for the 32-year-old Derrick Henry. Randall's physical running style, combined with his versatility, fits the Ravens' identity, while also offering the potential to expand the offense with creative packages and situational usage.
