Quinshon Judkins | RB | Ohio State

Height: 6’0″
Weight: 219 lbs
Draft Projection: Early Day 2
Notable Accomplishment: 2023 First-Team All-SEC

Pros: Judkins is an imposing downhill runner who balances power with patience, displaying fantastic discipline and physicality. I love running backs with leg drive, and Judkins does a wonderful job of keeping the legs churning after contact. This trait makes him incredibly difficult to bring down single-handedly. If he really wants to impose his power on defenders, I believe he possesses the athleticism to add another 10 pounds and still bring sufficient speed and explosiveness to the table. The Ole Miss transfer has not been used as a pass catcher at Ohio State as much as he was with Lane Kiffin, but I have seen enough to believe in his receiving abilities out of the backfield. He is not an elite route-runner, but he possesses good body control and secure hands. I would be remiss not to mention Judkins’ outstanding contact balance as well, as Judkins always seems to find a way to stay on his feet and avoid tackles at the second level of the defense.

Cons: The most frustrating part of watching Judkins on tape is his severe lack of decisiveness. Judkins has the vision to find the hole, but he hesitates too long looking for something better, only for the initial hole to close by the time he decides to go through it. Becoming more confident in his eyes and hitting the hole with conviction are two things that work hand in hand and would significantly improve his value as a runner. Judkins’ pass blocking was a little anemic at times, but several of his blown assignments may have been due to poor communication rather than an inability to execute.

Overview: Judkins has three-down potential in the NFL, but how high he can go in the draft will likely be capped by the incredible depth of the running back class this year. TreVeyon Henderson took a good portion of carries away from Judson, but that may have only helped Judson’s cause in that he has less tread on the tires entering the draft.
