The Combine sensation has moved up over 50 spots in the last week.
Virginia Tech running back, Bhayshul Tuten is rising rapidly on Underdog. The rookie sensation had a terrific performance at the NFL Combine.
Since February 26th just before the NFL Combine started, Tuten has risen from pick 222.1 to 165, a 57.1 spot rise! A large part of the rise is due to his 4.32 40-yard dash which ranked first among running backs. His 118.3 speed score registers in the 98th-percentile and his 133.9 burst score falls in the 97th percentile.
While soaring from round 19 to round 14, don’t expect there to be much of any let up in the coming weeks. Expect the rise to continue. Without draft capital and landing spot in tow, there is mystery box appeal to selecting Bhayshul Tuten in drafts. Given that he is still going in the double digit rounds, clicking Tuten at current ADP is still a rational thing to do.

Bhayshul Tuten blew away the athletic drills at the NFL Combine and solidifies his sleeper stock.
Virginia Tech RB Bhayshul Tuten may have done more to make a name for himself at the Combine than any other running back. Clocking a blazing 4.32 40-time, with a 1.49 10-yard split, and a 40.5 inch vertical jump, Tuten, who was not considered a top 10 RB in the deep 2025 draft class, may have worked his name into the conversation in the Top 7.
At 206 lbs, the 5’9″ is smaller than bellcow size, but exceeds the minimum weight threshold for top 24 fantasy production in his profile. Tuten ran for over 1000 yards in his final collegiate season, and caught 60 passes in his two two seasons at Va Tech, proving he can be an every down back. Tuten showed excellent hands and route-running ability in the player drills, and has a reputation as a plus pass blocker. Tuten should be tracked in Zero RB redraft builds and will be a high third rounder in rookie drafts unless NFL draft capital changes his Dynasty stock.

Virginia Tech RB Bayshul Tuten is ready to become a household name.
If there is one running back in the 2025 draft class that showcases just how deep the class is, it’s Virginia Tech’s Bayshul Tuten. The 5’11”, 209 lb RB with 4.3 speed has, somehow, flown under the radar, despite three outstanding collegiate seasons. It’s likely that he will be the biggest draft riser in this pre-draft period that includes the Senior Bowl, the Combine, and pro-days.
Tuten broke out as a Sophomore, a HUGE indicator of NFL success, with 1363 yards rushing and 31 backfield catches, albeit at North Carolina A&T. He transferred to VA Tech and rushed for 1159 yards and a 6.3 YPC, while adding another 23 catches, in his final year.
Tuten can be a bruiser, despite his mid-size frame, has excellent receiving ability, and is extremely explosive. He will thrive in a power run scheme as his lateral agility is not at an elite level, but as a Day 3 pick, he could easily take over a team’s backfield in a 3 down role, depending on the landing spot.
