We are now one week away from the 2020 NFL Draft, but if you're hoping that your team selects a running back, you can probably skip Day 1. We don't project the first running back to go off the board until early in the second round. That said, there are some big-name backs available. The list includes Georgia's D'Andre Swift, Ohio State's J.K. Dobbins, Wisconsin's Jonathan Taylor and Florida State's Cam Akers, all of whom we see being drafted on Day 2. For a deeper look at the upcoming draft, check out our comprehensive coverage here. 

Which brings us to today's quiz of the day. It may be some time before a running back hears his name called during the draft next week, but that wasn't always the case. So with that in mind, can you name the last time every NFL team selected a running back in the first round of the NFL Draft?

Good luck!
