Breaking down the 2025 running back class.

That's what we're talking about today on stealing bananas.

I'm Ben Gretch. You can find the Stealing Signals newsletter at BenGretsch.

com with me as always is Sean Siegel.

And you can find all of his great work over at Rodeviz.

Last time, I think towards the end of the episode, I can't remember exactly.
