3. JK Dobbins is the best running back in the 2020 NFL Draft

If it weren’t for J.K. Dobbins, the Ohio State Buckeye’s wouldn’t have had a single positive play on their first drive of the game. On that drive, Dobbins caught a 28-yard reception and rushed for 51 yards, which was capped off with a five yard touchdown run. He finished the match with 211 yards on the ground and four touchdowns.

A week ago, he average 4.4 yards per carry on an astounding 36 touches, and scored two touchdowns against the Penn State Nittany Lions. Frankly, Dobbins looks more dominant that former Buckeye running back, Ezekiel Elliot, did in his final season at Ohio State in 2015.

Unfortunately for the junior running back, his statistical totals have been overwhelmingly limited due to Justin Fields being a legitimate dual-threat quarterback and the fact that the Buckeyes have blown out nearly all of their opponents.

If I were an NFL general manager, I would draft J. K. Dobbins over Wisconsin’s Jonathon Taylor, for Dobbins is a better receiving back and is a future Christian McCaffrey.
