Adam Randall NFL Draft 2026 Scouting Report for Baltimore Ravens RB

Jan 29, 2026

The Baltimore Ravens selected Clemson RB Adam Randall with the No. 174 overall pick in the 2026 NFL draft.

Adam Randall is a muscular, downhill runner with pass-catching versatility. Once known as a highly-touted wide receiver, Randall converted to running back.

The 2025 campaign was the most productive season of his collegiate career to firmly establish him as a legitimate RB prospect. In one season as a full-time ball-carrier, Randall outproduced all four years of receiving production.

Randall is a former 3-star recruit in the 2022 class. He never lived up to the hype at wide receiver and is hoping to find a home in the NFL by operating out of the backfield.

Where He Wins

2 of 5

- Randall runs hard with a powerful, muscular frame. He excels at getting north and south quickly with his shoulders squared as he hits the line of scrimmage.

- The wide receiver-convert displays above-average patience for a first-time running back. Specifically, he follows his blocks to daylight on gap/pin-pull power schemes.

- A conversion to RB brings a pass-catching element and versatility to generate advantageous matchups.

- He offers a viable option as a kick returner. Over the last two seasons, he's averaged 23.2 yards per kick return.

- Randall's lack of reps as a running back shows up in pass protection. His technique is lacking. He can benefit by playing with the same power as his frame suggests.

- He experienced dropped passes, which became one of the few reasons why he transitioned from WR to RB. He is not a natural hands-catcher.

- His skill set is scheme-dependent. He doesn't display the stop-start ability needed to work in a zone-heavy scheme.

- Clemson's big-bodied ball-carrier lacks the wiggle and elusiveness to make defenders miss in a phone booth and create extra yards for himself if the blocking is ineffective.
