1. Jerome Ford
After an offseason of drama, second-round pick Quinshon Judkins is officially the leader of the Cleveland Browns running backs. The Ohio State product played a pivotal role in the team’s shocking 13-10 victory over the Green Bay Packers, finishing the night with 18 attempts for 94 yards and a touchdown. Fourth-round rookie Dylan Sampson received just one carry, while veteran Jerome Ford didn’t run the ball once and finished with four receptions for 10 yards.
Judkins is clearly the future of this backfield, which makes Jerome Ford an ideal trade target. While the veteran won’t set the world on fire, he proved to be an adequate short-term starter and role player over the past two seasons. Ford is a jack of all trades, master of none, whose unique skillset makes him the perfect complement to Benson as James Conner recovers from injury.
