What about electrical engineering?

Last I heard the league office was looking to add that to the job description requirements by 2026

I have a bachelors in Computer Science. Probably not enough in this economy though

I can’t wait to take him off my bench in my fantasy league. Not this week, but for sure next week P.S. Hopefully after Sunday, I’m saying dammit I knew I should’ve started him.

Damn those seem like slow feet for how much hype he's gotten

To be fair to him, that long drill where he looks the slowest also isn't really made for getting up to speed. He also missed a lot of time and needs to work into game shape
You're right though that his get could definitely be quicker, but being shifty isn't really a core component of his game. He doesn't make people miss with wiggle, but rather by running through tackles and falling forward when he is tackled. Because of this, I'm not overly concerned with his lack of foot quickness since that's not his game and not why we drafted him. In terms of actual speed he's basically exactly average for this class and the fast side of average generally. He's less likely to hit big home runs consistently, but it's not like it's out of the question. Not saying he will be this, but he's actually a fairly similar prospect coming out as Chubb was. They had similar styles and numbers coming out of college, which is why I think we took him over Henderson. Judkins is an inch taller and like 9lb lighter than Chubb, being slightly faster and presumably slightly weaker though without really affecting his running style. His comps post combine actually were Chubb, Hunt, and how Mixon. If you're an analytics guy, pretty sure he had good athleticism numbers at the combine and falls in the ideal range for size
Who knows what we actually have in him, but I thought he'd be a good round 2 pick coming out and think he'll end up being a solid RB in the league. Though I did prefer Henderson, Judkins is the safer, less injury prone pick of the two. I'm not really worried until we actually have reason to be. We just need to get him ramped up quickly so hopefully he was working while in limbo

Awesome details :) after week 1 it looks like we got a pretty great consolation prize for Henderson in Sampson, yeah?

u/Howlinboot 10h ago
I wanted Henderson too, but the one thing Judkins had on Treveyon was that Judkins had been healthy the past 3 years, while Treveyon had missed the end of 2 OSU seasons. As a Sophomore, Judkins led the SEC in rushing. He followed that up with a top 3 SEC rushing performance. Then started over Henderson in OSU's biggest games. Judkins broke a few long runs in the championship. I was torn on Henderson. Henderson was a bit more explosive but it was actually pretty close. But Judkins had proven to be more durable. Henderson has the higher upside but also is a bit riskier in this division IMO.

I've seen Chubb do those same drills but with seemingly much more intensity (and this was after his injury too). Hopefully 10 gets up to speed soon...

I’m sorry but I agree with the guys getting downvoted he looks out of shape almost

u/Decent-Classroom-784 1d ago
Don't worry, they'll attack you because you can tell he's not fully back. I don't understand how it's hard to see?

u/3riversdawg 1d ago
Has he had any tackle contact yet? Besides this week?
2
u/Scatheli 1d ago
Don’t think they are full tackling in practice during season and in training camp it was just a few select practices other than the preseason games.

u/3riversdawg 1d ago
Heard he may not play this week. Can’t wait to see what our second round picks produces.

u/DanielHSSports 1d ago
As exciting it feels to potentially see Judkins on Sunday, it would be really foolish for the team to make him active after he missed training camp and the whole preseason. Throwing him out there after only two days of practice is coaching malpractice

Can he wear this helmet tho?

u/itsgoofytime69 1d ago
Obviously he can wear it, he's wearing it in the video

u/woodworkrick8 1d ago
Actually Doubs did wear the protective outer shell helmet in last nights game, someone had to be the first, I know shiny helmets. Do look good especially the eagle. But,,,,,

u/DoubleT02 1d ago
He’s quickly getting up to speed by running highschool RB drills…? I would hope he was doing this the entire off season period

u/finix2409 1d ago edited 1d ago
He looks pretty bad here
Edit: downvoted for saying he doesn’t look like the next Jim Brown. I want the guy to succeed but this isn’t a hype video or anything special

u/chemistrybonanza 1d ago
What exactly is he doing poorly? I am no expert. He looks explosive to me.

u/Decent-Classroom-784 1d ago
You're getting down voted but his quickness looks down. Definitely wasn't training as hard as his teammates have been practicing because I know tired legs when I see them. (I was a HS assistant and ALMOST college assistant)
Or he's just half-assing it.

u/Opposite_Sea_6257 1d ago
Do you realize how dumb this sounds?
-3
u/Decent-Classroom-784 1d ago
Doesn't sound dumb at all that a professional athlete coming out of college and dealing with things bigger than football isn't in the best shape to start. No, it's not dumb. He's definitely quicker than what we're seeing. He'll get there but he does look slower.

Well considering his teammates have been tackling, blocking, etc. in practice (including a few against the defending Champions) and played in a few games id say they definitely did more than he could on his own during his time off.

I've seen him do drills as a Buckeye and he's legitimately quicker than this. He might not even play this week which kind of proves my point. He's not in game shape yet. That's a real thing.

If Baltimore has any orange bosu balls on the field, Judkins is gonna be fine.
