2027 NFL Draft Running Back Rankings: Which Rising Star Will Shock Scouts Before the 2026 Season?
3. Ahmad Hardy, Missouri
Ahmad Hardy was second in DI last season in rushing yards (1,649). Eleven more yards would have given the Missouri player the rushing title. Even so, he was a more efficient ball carrier (6.4 yards per carry compared to 5.6) than first-placed Cam Cook. Hardy’s elite production was enhanced by 16 scores, and he will likely put up jaw-dropping numbers again as the heart and soul of the Tigers. Hardy is a bowling ball of a ball carrier who defenders have nightmares about attempting to tackle. The concern is that Hardy has been a non-factor in the passing game, but that could be because they lean on him so heavily on the ground.
