Who is the RB3 in the 2023 NFL Draft class? NFLDraft | GoBlue | GoBruins | PL34SED
While there won’t be any comparisons made to the Orange’s prestigious list of alums in Jim Brown, Floyd Little, or Larry Csonka just yet, with 1,496 yards on the ground last fall and 644 thus far in 2022, Sean Tucker checks a ton of boxes as a future NFL impact starter. A stoutly-built prospect that stands no more than 5-foot-10, if it were a t-shirt and shorts contest, Tucker would finish near the tail end of the selection process for many.
After totaling 626 yards in his first year on campus, Tucker—a redshirt sophomore—shattered the Syracuse single-season rushing record in 2021 and entered the season with Heisman aspirations as the Orange’s premier offensive weapon. Despite the Orange finishing under .500 in seven of the last eight seasons, Tucker’s progression into one of the best running backs in football has blossomed the now No. 14-ranked and undefeated Orange’s offensive attack.
A talent who reminds me a ton of Pierre Strong Jr.—a running back out of South Dakota State that the New England Patriots used an early day-three selection on back in April—Tucker’s deceptive quickness and lightning-quick footwork within a phone booth is extremely intriguing.
While it’s only mid-October and the 2023 NFL Draft evaluation of Tucker that we are discussing now will alter in the coming months, I’m interested to see his growth as a pass-catcher as we move into the meat of the season and during the pre-draft process. Gone are the days of static early-down backs without pop in the passing game. By diversifying that side of his deep bag of likable traits, there isn’t a ceiling on how much he could improve his 2023 NFL Draft stock throughout the campaign.
One of the most impactful running backs Syracuse has had in its program’s 120-plus year history, Tucker’s expectations remain sky-high for the 2021 first-team All-American. While the Orange as a whole have had little to hurrah about over the years, take time to watch No. 34 embarrass your favorite defense.
