RB Quinshon Judkins (National Champion)

Yahoo Sports

2025 NFL free agency buzz and rumors: Is Ohio State RB Quinshon Judkins now a first-round draft pick?​

Teams love the talent of the incoming running back class, and they think there may be even more high-end juice than originally thought.

The big winner of that assessment appears to be Judkins, who raised eyebrows among multiple high-ranking talent evaluators when he ran a 4.48-second 40-yard dash at 6-feet and 221 pounds. He also showcased explosiveness with a 38.5-inch vertical and 11-foot broad jump, while lighting up interview rooms with his personality. One evaluator I spoke with told me that Judkins’ reps advised him not to work out at the combine after the Buckeyes won the college football national championship. He declined that advice and did a full workout, rather than waiting for Ohio State’s pro day. Given his penchant for playing a physical brand of football that illustrates his love for contact, teams were pleased to see him show up and compete at the combine when others would not.

Keep an eye on Judkins potentially scooting into the first round of the draft to a team that mirrors his style of play at the position and has a need for a long-term running back solution (*cough* Pittsburgh Steelers).

Quinshon Judkins NFL Draft Interview: Instant Production​

JM: Now that you've had time to reflect, how do you look back on the decision to transfer from Ole Miss to Ohio State? It worked out beautifully for you.

Quinshon Judkins: I feel like going from Ole Miss to Ohio State was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made in my life. Not only did that move work out for me from a footballing perspective, but I also met so many great people and learned so many important lessons. I built relationships at Ohio State that will last me a lifetime. It helped develop me as a person and player. I’m going to be a better pro because of it.
