Browns Draft Quinshon Judkins as a Potential Three-Down Back

Quinshon Judkins Headshot

The Cleveland Browns selected Ohio State RB Quinshon Judkins with the 36th pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Judkins was an early breakout with 1,565 rushing yards and 16 TDs as a true freshman at Ole Miss (2022). After another strong season in 2023 (271-1,158-15), Judkins transferred to Ohio State. Unfortunately, OL injuries and a shared backfield with TreVeyon Henderson led to career lows with 194 attempts and 1,060 rushing yards. Judkins looks the part, though, with NFL power and burst off the snap. He showed high-end athleticism at the NFL Combine, registering a 75th percentile forty time, an 89th percentile vertical, and a 98th percentile broad jump. His efforts earned him an excellent 9.87 Relative Athletic Score.

2025 Fantasy Football Impact

Judkins showed he can carry a full workload in his first two years at Mississippi, and that he can be a between the tackles runner at Ohio State.

He has three-down potential, but RB Jerome Ford should still have a role.

Judkins upside could be as an RB2 this season.

Dynasty Impact

With a wide open RB room (and a QB room that leaves a lot to be desired), Judkins has long term upside to become a fantasy RB1 over time.

His 220+ build and soft hands make him a mid-first round rookie pick, potentially over first round picks like WR Emeka Egbuka
