Georgia Bulldogs running back Kenny McIntosh has the versatility it takes to succeed at the NFL level. McIntosh can run, catch, and pass block.
McIntosh has never been a burner. He’s more of a steady back that has good balance through contact and vision. McIntosh frequently breaks tackles and is a good receiver out of the backfield.
The former four-star recruit clocked a 4.62 second 40-yard dash, which is okay, but won’t elevate McIntosh’s draft status. McIntosh’s 40 time is the third slowest at his position. However, quickness is more important than long distance speed. McIntosh’s 1.54 second 10-yard split was in the middle of the pack of running backs.
Kenny McIntosh impressed scouts with his performance in field drills. He is one of the better receiving backs in this draft class.

The 6-foot, 204-pound running back faces stout competition from the 2023 NFL draft running back class. The position is loaded this draft cycle. Pro Football Focus has eight running backs ranked in the top-100 draft prospects.
PFF ranks McIntosh as the No. 17 player at his position and the No. 187 overall player. McIntosh is well worth the risk of a middle or late round pick and it would not be surprising to see him selected earlier than his ranking with PFF.
