Former Wisconsin Badger one of the most athletic RB prospects in NFL Draft history

Former Wisconsin Badger and Louisville Cardinal Isaac Guerendo is one of the most athletic running back prospects in NFL Draft history.

His NFL combine and pro day testing led to a Raw Athletic Score of 9.97 (out of a possible 10.00). According to the creator of the metric, that number ranks No. 7 out of 1804 running back prospects from 1987 to 2024.

Those testing numbers include a 4.33-second 40-yard dash, 4.15-second shuttle, 6.94-second 3-cone drill, 41.5-inch vertical jump and 10’9″ broad jump.

Guerendo finished his four-year Wisconsin career with 99 carries, 582 rushing yards and six touchdowns. He then excelled in his one year at Louisville, adding 132 carries for 810 yards and 11 touchdowns.

The electric running back is projected to be selected in the 4th or 5th round of the upcoming NFL Draft — though his athletic testing may raise that projection a bit.
