About Rankin Updated Sep 13, 2026

Justin Rankin is a dual-threat back who can flip a game in one touch

In the 2018 season at Kent State, Justin Rankin showed he could be more than a downhill runner, finishing with 574 rushing yards, 127 receiving yards, and 5.0 yards per carry in college before later proving his home-run ability as a pro with explosive gains and big-play efficiency. His biggest differentiators are burst, versatility, and after-catch value — the kind of back who stresses defenses in space and can tilt field position fast. If a team wants a rugged, creative playmaker with a track record of turning touches into chunk plays, he’s an appealing fit.
