The New England Patriots hosted Clemson running back Adam Randall for a top-30 visit on Tuesday. Randall is as intriguing a running back prospect as anybody that can be found on day two of the 2026 NFL Draft. He measured in at 6-foot-3, 232 pounds at the NFL Combine.
When Dabo Swinney recruited him, Randall was a four-star wide receiver out of South Carolina. He saw playing time for his hometown team in his first three seasons as a WR for the Tigers, but wasn’t producing nearly as well as he and the Tigers coaching staff expected. So the team made the decision to move Randall to running back for his senior season, and the results were shocking.
Randall racked up 814 rushing yards on 168 carries and ended the season with more than 1,100 total yards. He found the endzone 13 times and was the only player on the roster to record more than 260 rushing yards. He actually had more rushing yards than the consensus number two overall running back in this draft, Washington’s Jonah Coleman.
