Quinshon Judkins, the former Ohio State Buckeyes running back, is trending on social media before the draft. He finished last season in style, making a 70-yard rushing play setting up his third touchdown against Notre Dame, taking his season tally to 1,060 yards in 194 carries and scoring 14 times.

Judkins uploaded a picture with Dallas Cowboys manager Jerry Jones after his official visit on Apr. 3, gaining major social media traction. The team recently lost star running back Rico Dowdle to the Carolina Panthers and is thus actively looking for a rusher.

Charles Robinson, senior reporter for Yahoo Sports, wrote:

“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).”

With the Cowboys holding the #12 pick in the upcoming NFL draft, the photo of 21-year-old running back Judkins, who some analysts project to be a first-round pick, has fueled speculation about him landing in Dallas’ blue and white.

The draft begins on April 24, and if Judkins goes late, the Cowboys could secure their roster with a standout rusher.
