Ollie Gordon II’s NFL Draft Scouting Report
Overall, the 2024 calendar year was one to forget for Ollie Gordon II. He was arrested on suspicion for DUI in July, and he fought through injuries (lower body, leg) and an offensive regression at Oklahoma State. That doesn’t mean Gordon himself should be forgotten.
It was just one summer ago that Gordon was being talked about as one of the best RB prospects in the 2025 NFL Draft. And in the right situation, he might be able to resurrect the same ability that had him affixed as an early-round contender.
Despite functioning as a long-strider at 6’2″, 225 pounds, Gordon flashes eye-popping cutting flexibility and lateral freedom for his size. He’s an unnaturally proficient creator in a volume back’s body, with pass-blocking prowess as a bonus.

There’s no denying how good Gordon was in 2023. He’s a massive running back who runs hard and possesses the toughness and raw power needed to bowl over defenders at the collegiate level. He also has plenty of experience and value as a pass catcher, giving him more dimensions in his game than the stereotypical “power back” archetype.
That said, Gordon’s athletic limitations could affect how big of a role he plays for his team at the NFL level. He feels like a consistent bet to pick up three to five yards regularly in between the tackles, but he doesn’t have the breakaway speed or the crafty agility needed to project as a dynamic threat in the open field. He’ll have to run with better pad level in NFL if he is to maintain how well he shed tackles at Oklahoma State, too.
Gordon comes from an Oklahoma State offense that leans heavier in gap than zone-run concepts, and I believe that’s the best fit for him at the NFL level. He should be a valuable short-yardage back in the league, but where do you draft a player who feels like that is his most likely outcome? Round 4 feels like a fair range to start heavily considering him.
