The 2025 NFL Draft is upon us, and so is your need to be prepared for all of tomorrow’s stars. Dive into our spotlight on Bhayshul Tuten, featuring his scouting report, strengths and weaknesses, his recent draft projection, and where all the experts predict he could land.
Bhayshul Tuten’s NFL Draft Scouting Report
The fact that Bhayshul Tuten graded as well as he did in college, despite some historically bad ball security (nine fumbles over the last two seasons on fewer than 400 touches), is a testament to his ability. Ball security can be coached out of players, or it can stick around; outcomes are always uncertain.
That said, if he can clean up that part of his game, Tuten oozes first-level explosiveness, a dense lower half to skirt past glancing blows, and enough long speed to outrun defenders. He consistently forces himself past the first would-be tackler, and while he’s not often tasked with pass protection, he shows a willingness to sacrifice his body when called upon.
He can be a change-of-pace back right away, with the potential to grow into more.
Bhayshul Tuten’s NFL Draft Projection
In CSN’s 7-Round 2025 NFL Mock Draft from April 12, Tuten landed in Round 4 with the 126th overall pick.
And on CSN’s 2025 NFL Mock Draft for Day 3, Tuten was selected with the 142nd pick in Round 5 to the Minnesota Vikings.
Previously, CSN’s Bjorn Bergstrom had this to say about Tuten’s selection in a mock draft:
The Texans have a workhorse back in Joe Mixon, but each year he seems to lose a step. Though still an effective RB, Tuten would provide a burst at that position that hasn’t been there in recent years.
The former Hokie ran a blazing 4.32 40-yard dash at the combine.
