The 2025 NFL Draft is right around the corner, and we’ve got you covered with in-depth scouting reports on all of the top prospects at every position in this year’s class.
Here’s everything you need to know about Ohio State Quinshon Judkins:
Vitals
Height: 6-0
Weight: 219
Age: 21
Strengths
A tough task for any defender to bring down, Judkins has an impressive combination of power and elusiveness that makes him a broken-tackle machine, both between the tackles and in the open field. He’s got the ability to explode into the secondary with an ideal blend of vision and burst that can turn the smallest crease in the trenches into a first down and more. His strength and contact balance allow him to pick up extra yards, and he often requires multiple defenders to stop his forward progress. Judkins has an ideal frame for carrying a full workload of touches at the next level, and his reliability and big-play potential as a receiver out of the backfield give him true three-down value.
Weaknesses
Like most college backs, Judkins’ technique and effectiveness in pass protection is still a work in progress, and will be a point of emphasis at the next level if he wants to be a full-time presence on third downs. He’s a patient runner who likes to pick his spots, but he can sometimes wait too long to make a decision, passing up his best chance to get a few yards by looking for more space that never materializes. He’ll need to learn to take what’s there and be satisfied with shorter gains instead of no gain at all in certain situations.

Final Analysis
He’s been a valuable member of a committee backfield in Columbus with TreVeyon Henderson, but Judkins has all the skills to be a full-time featured back in the NFL. Improving his decisiveness as a runner and his pass-protecting prowess will make him an even more complete player, but Judkins is ready to make an instant impact for any offense as a rookie.
GRADE: 2nd Round
