Rookie Quinshon Judkins Starts for Browns, Rushes for 94 and TD in Upset of Packers

His rapid elevation followed a late contract signing after prosecutors declined charges, with an NFL conduct review still open.

Overview

  • Judkins made his first NFL start in Week 3 and logged 18 carries for 94 yards and a touchdown in Cleveland’s 13-10 win over Green Bay, drawing praise from coach Kevin Stefanski as "only going to get better."
  • The promotion followed his Week 2 debut at Baltimore, where he was Cleveland’s most effective runner with 61 yards on 10 carries plus three receptions for 10 yards.
  • Cleveland ranked 27th in rushing through two weeks, leading the staff to elevate Judkins atop the depth chart ahead of Dylan Sampson and Jerome Ford to boost a lagging ground game.
  • The No. 36 pick in the 2025 draft signed his rookie contract on Sept. 6 after missing all of training camp and the preseason.
  • Judkins was arrested on July 12 in Florida, prosecutors declined to file charges on Aug. 14, and the NFL’s Personal Conduct Policy review remains active after a Sept. 10 meeting in New York.
