NFL Draft Injury Analysis: Roman Hemby, RB - Indiana

[ASFN Admin]

The Lions got a 4th-round pick (plus more) in the trade of David Montgomery. They could very likely use that pick on a replacement. Roman Hemby is an option projected to go in that range. He's a bit older than ideal, but has otherwise been very reliable.

Here is the excerpt of my medical report on Roman Hemby:

(Ages in parentheses are at start of 2026 season and are factored into the concern level. Injury info and ages based on available public information are unverified and subject to update. Games played data courtesy of sports-reference.com.)

Roman Hemby, RB (24) - Indiana​

Projected round 3-5. Measurements: 6’ 0”, 207 lb.

Concern level 2/10

• 2025: 16/16 games
• 2024: 12/12 games
• 2023: 13/13 games
• 2022: 13/13 games
• 2021: 4 games

Hemby has shown fantastic reliability in college with no reports of injury. The main concern is an older age which is more of an issue at the RB position.

He was productive in college with 711 rushes for 3467 yards (4.9 Y/A). Click here for his highlights.
