The NFL Draft is right around the corner.
While the first ten picks in the draft are usually somewhat predictable, after that, it tends to be a wild card.
Every team views prospects differently, which can cause some organizations to take players a lot higher than other teams value them.
The running back position has seen a roller coaster in value over the past several seasons.
During the offseason heading into the 2023 campaign, the running back market tanked as players struggled to gain meaningful contract extensions.
This has not been the case in the offseason leading up to 2024, as several running backs have signed large deals with teams across the league.
There is speculation that teams aren’t necessarily happy with what they see in the upcoming prospects in the 2024 NFL Draft.
While this could be the case, analyst Dane Brugler highlighted a prospect he believes teams are overlooking.
In a recent tweet, Brugler said, “A RB prospect not getting enough buzz is Rasheen Ali from Marshall.”
A RB prospect not getting enough buzz is Rasheen Ali from Marshall. Bicep injury in January so no testing at Combine or pro day (expected to be cleared in July).

As Brugler points out, Ali has been suffering from a biceps injury, which held him out of his Pro Day and the Combine.
However, with him hoping to be cleared in July, Ali should be more than ready for the NFL season, hoping to contribute to a team in a meaningful way.
According to Brugler, Ali already has visits with the Kansas City Chiefs, Dallas Cowboys, Atlanta Falcons, Baltimore Ravens, and Tennessee Titans.
Will one of these teams take a chance on Ali, given the strength of his prospect profile?
