His impressive 1,000-yard season with the Ohio State Buckeyes paved the way for him to be selected by the Browns with the No. 36 pick in hopes that he could replace star rusher Nick Chubb. After missing the first game of the 2025 NFL season due to an off-field incident, Judkins quickly became Cleveland's top running back, as he recorded 237 rushing yards and two touchdowns in his first four games.
