Summary
Quinshon Judkins is a thickly built running back with a feature-back frame, looking every bit the part of a modern NFL ball-carrier. His blend of explosiveness and NFL-caliber footwork is impressive, especially considering his stocky frame. While his vision isn't a standout trait on film, his contact balance certainly is -- though that may not be as dominant at the next level. He plays with deceptive power, rarely going down on first contact and almost always falling forward. He understands how to lower his pad level to bounce off tacklers, and his film is littered with highlight-reel truck sticks.
As a mover, Judkins isn't a big lateral-juke type but instead thrives on efficient stop-start ability and sharp diagonal cuts. He often stays frontside on stretch runs but shows noticeable burst when cutting back, with great acceleration at the second level. His speed is good, bordering on great, but he won’t be a frequent home-run hitter in the NFL.
In the passing game, he’s a solid receiver out of the backfield, though it's not a defining part of his skill set. He provides about what’s expected from a feature back in that regard. Given his younger age, he offers a high floor with reasonable upside as he continues to refine his game at the next level.

Browns' Quinshon Judkins: Browns nab Round 2 Ohio State RB
The Browns selected Judkins in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 36th overall.
Judkins (6-feet, 221 pounds) was a highly productive runner at both Ohio State (2024) and Mississippi (2022-2023), demonstrating uncommon explosiveness and three-down ability for a power running back. Judkins boosted his stock at the NFL Scouting Combine, where he demonstrated surprising speed with a 4.48-second 40-yard dash as well as a 38.5-inch vertical jump and 132-inch broad jump. Explosiveness like that paired with Judkins' power could give him uniquely high upside as an NFL runner in both volume and efficiency. Judkins probably won't be a league-leading receiver at running back, but he should have 40- or 50-catch upside in addition to league-leader potential as a rusher. Jerome Ford is highly qualified as a passing down back and is too good to send to the bench, but he's also in the final year of his rookie contract.
