J.K. Dobbins is going pro. On Monday, the Ohio State running back announced that he’ll forego his final year of eligibility to enter the NFL draft.

With that, the already deep 2020 running back crop has become even more stacked. This year, Dobbins became the school’s first player to break 2,000 yards in a single season, topping Eddie George’s single-season rushing record. Before that, he eclipsed 1,000 yards rushing in each of his previous campaigns.
Dobbins is no stranger to the limelight, either. He was a four-star prospect combing out of La Grange High School, despite missing most of his senior season with an ankle injury. Dobbins, who offers serious power at 5’10” (or, perhaps, 5’9″), is true stud and profiles as a strong first-round candidate for April.
Other top running backs in the 2020 NFL Draft class include Georgia’s D’Andre Swift, Wisconsin’s Jonathan Taylor, Clemson’s Travis Etienne, Alabama’s Najee Harris, and Oklahoma State’s Chuba Hubbard.
so he’s a wizard i suppose?
Taylor is likely in the draft, but he didn’t announce yet.
With over 900 carries at the collegiate level, he’d be foolish to return. That dude has already been ridden hard.
Agreed, but the article is still inaccurate.
