Cleveland Browns' Rookie Quinshon Judkins Sparks Buzz With Bold Pre-Draft Forecast

The Cleveland Browns definitely dedicated time repairing their backfield in the NFL Draft, as they selected a pair of running backs. The Browns took Quinshon Judkins in the second round before circling back to nab Dylan Sampson on Day 3.

Connor Rodgers from NBC Sports particularly admires the Judkins selection and has made quite a daring assertion regarding this. Ohio State Buckeyes star.

“You got a blend of elusiveness, power, I think this guy’s going to be a star,” Rogers said .

Judkins was the third running back off the board in the draft, with only Ashton Jeanty and Omarion Hampton going before him.

The young player, who is 21 years old, recently finished a 2024 season where he amassed 1,060 yards and scored 14 touchdowns, maintaining an average of 5.5 yards per carry. Additionally, he contributed with 22 receptions for 161 yards and a pair of touchdowns.

One of the most striking aspects of Judkins' performance was how he stepped up his play during crucial moments, scoring seven touchdowns for Ohio State as they advanced through the College Football Playoff toward winning the national championship.

Judkins began his collegiate career at Ole Miss and spent two seasons with the Rebels before transferring to Ohio State after 2023. He led the SEC in rushing touchdowns in each of his first two years at Ole Miss and also paced the conference with 1,567 rushing yards in 2022.

The Browns are clearly looking to revamp the halfback position and may very well try to roll with a two-headed monster of Judkins and Sampson next season.
