After a whirlwind offseason, former Ohio State running back Quinshon Judkins has officially inked an NFL contract.
Judkins, the 36th overall pick in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft, signed a four-year, fully guaranteed $11.4 million contract with the Cleveland Browns on Sept. 6.
Judkins didn’t participate in any of the Browns’ training camp after a July 12 arrest for a domestic violence charge in Broward County, Fla. However, following a state attorney’s office investigation, it was reported on Aug. 14 that Judkins wouldn’t be facing criminal charges due to inconsistencies in the accuser’s story.
He is still under NFL investigation for a possible personal conduct policy violation and could face suspension despite prosecutors denying the charges.
Judkins did not play in the Browns’ season opener on Sept. 7 due to the ongoing investigation.
With the Browns and Judkins’ agreement, Judkins became the last player who was selected in the 2025 NFL Draft to sign a contract.
In his lone season at Ohio State in 2024, Judkins rushed for 1,060 yards and 14 scores on the ground, while adding 161 receiving yards and two touchdowns through the air.
