With the NFL offseason quickly approaching, it is time to dive into available free agents. Today, we look at the RBs, where Dwain analyzes the top free agents and a couple of names that are on the trade block.
Tier 1 – Every-Down Backs
Tony Pollard
Pollard doesn’t have the same draft pedigree as several peers on this list, but his underlying talent profile is the most well-rounded and electrifying. Only two RBs eclipsed an 80.0 PFF rush grade and a 75.0 PFF receiving grade in 2022: Austin Ekeler and Pollard.
