Browns Rookie Running Back Impresses at OTAs in Viral Video

The Cleveland Browns selected Ohio State running back Quinshon Judkins with the 36th overall pick in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft, and he is already impressing in team practice.

In a recent viral video taken at Browns OTAs, Judkins can be seen breaking off a big run after a handoff from veteran quarterback Joe Flacco.

Judkins was one of two running backs that Cleveland drafted, with the other being Tennessee's Dylan Sampson. The team taking the two of them most likely means that veteran star back Nick Chubb has played his last snap as a member of the Browns.

Which means that Judkins has quite the task in front of him trying to fill the show of one of the best players in the team's history.

The 21-year-old running back finished his final season at Ohio State with 1,060 yards and 14 touchdowns, which wasn't even his best season. In his freshman year, he was able to lead the SEC Conference in rushing yards with over 1,500 and touchdowns with 16.

Judkins is currently listed as RB2 on the team's depth chart behind Jerome Ford, but that could change very quickly if the rookie can keep making others notice him every time he is given an opportunity.

The Browns finished with the fourth-least rushing yards in the league this past season, so Judkins will be looking to help the team improve that mark and get back on track in 2025.
