Declares for 2025 NFL Draft
Giddens has declared for the 2025 NFL Draft, per a post on his personal Instagram account.
ANALYSIS
Giddens racked up north of 200 carries in both 2023 and 2024, amassing a career-best 1,343 rushing yards and seven scores during his 2024 junior campaign for Kansas State, logging a career-best 6.6 yards per carry along the way. He also notched at least 21 grabs in each of the last two seasons, but Giddens graded out as one of the worst receiving backs in all of FBS last season, per PFF, due to dropping five passes. He also graded out poorly as a pass protector in 2024, but his ticks in those areas were markedly higher in 2023. Giddens certainly has the size (6-foot-1, 212 pounds) to improve on that at the next level with coaching, and he's seen a slight climb up mock draft boards recently. He'll have opportunities to bolster his draft stock at the NFL Combine and the Wildcats' pro day, but he's viewed as a likely Day 3 back.

Goes to Eagles in Reuter's mock
Friday's five-round mock draft from Chad Reuter of NFL.com has Giddens going to the Eagles in the fifth round.
ANALYSIS
Giddens rushed for 2,569 yards and 17 rushing touchdowns over his last two seasons at Kansas State. If he lands in Philadelphia, Giddens would compete with Will Shipley and AJ Dillon for the primary backup role behind Saquon Barkley. Kenneth Gainwell occupied that role in 2024 but departed for Pittsburgh in free agency.
