DJ Giddens, the Kansas State product, handled over 200 carries each of his final two seasons. Giddens also caught more than twenty passes in his two years as a starter.

It was the 2025 NFL Combine, though, that was more than impressive for Giddens. Per RAS.football, Giddens earned a 9.78 RAS, which ranks 43rd out of 1909 running back profiles dating back to 1987.  Giddens ran a 4.43-forty yard dash, ant put up a 91st-percentile speed score. But that’s not all: Giddens’ 95th-percentile burst score confirmed what scouts saw on film.

Giddens’ projection continues to hover around Round 4. He’s only 21 years old, and could easily step in to an RB2 role right away on an NFL team. He may need to develop as a pass-blocker, but Giddens could be an interesting backup to start.
