The 2025 NFL Draft will be a great event for teams to start building for their future. Here is the Bhayshul Tuten NFL Draft Profile.
Position: Running Back
School: Virginia Tech
Size: 5-foot-9, 209 pounds
Class: Senior
2024 stats: 183 carries, 1,159 rushing yards, 15 rushing touchdowns, 6.3 yards per attempt, 23 catches, 81 receiving yards, 2 receiving touchdowns
Tuten was an unranked prospect in the class of 2021 who signed with NC A&T out of New Jersey. He played two seasons for the Bulldogs, then transferred to Virginia Tech in 2023. In his first season with the Hokies, Tuten totaled 863 rushing yards, 239 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns. His play helped the team win seven games. For the 2024 season, Tuten had 1,159 rushing yards, 81 receiving yards and 17 total touchdowns. He led the team to a six-win season.
Following the season, Tuten has been preparing for the 2025 NFL Draft. He is currently projected to be a mid-round pick.
Tuten is a home run threat every single time he touches the ball, which is why he was used as a returner in addition to his time at running back. He has good quickness once he sees a hole. Tuten can get up to a top speed quickly and is faster than most anyone he goes up against. If he gets an angle, he can outrun everyone.
He is a compact running back who has good contact balance. At 5-foot-9 and 209 pounds, he is well-built and demonstrates the ability to stay on his feet after taking contact. He can run through arm tackles. It is hard to catch Tuten, but when he is caught, he is hard to bring down.
His elusiveness is another nice aspect of his game. He shows good vision in the open field and runs to space. In order to free himself, he has good cutting ability, as he can put one foot in the ground and leave defenders in the dust. He is solid at making defenders miss and picking up more than expected on plays.
They say ball security is job security and Tuten has had his issues with fumbles. He needs to carry the ball high and tight to protect it. If his fumbling issues continue into the NFL level it will be hard for him to be trusted. Tuten could be in the doghouse at some point over his fumbling.
There are too many incompletions when he is targeted in the passing game. He has a limited catch radius, so quarterbacks have to put the ball on a smaller target. Tuten also has too many drops on tape. He can be a weapon because of his ability with the ball in his hands, but has to secure the catch first.
His vision is inconsistent. He doesn’t always see the hole open up in front of him and at times could be more patient to let the hole open. Tuten often bounces runs outside too soon, instead of finding the seam and hitting it. He can be more decisive when trying to run through the line of scrimmage, rather than bouncing those runs outside.
Projected Draft Range: Third Round Pick-Fifth Round Pick
Draft Grade: Fourth Round Pick
