“I just love the way Dobbins runs. He’s ferocious. He hits holes hard, and he has some breakaway ability. Dobbins, my second-ranked back in this class, ran for 2,003 yards last season, breaking the Ohio State single-season record. He averaged 6.7 yards per carry. He looked much more explosive than he did in 2018, when he averaged 4.6 yards per carry in a disappointing sophomore season.
Dobbins didn’t work out at the NFL scouting combine because of an ankle injury suffered in the College Football Playoff, and he wasn’t able to have a pro day in front of scouts. That means we don’t have official testing numbers on him, which hurts him in his quest to be the top back off the board. Still, he could be a second-round steal.”
Projection:
Kiper expects Dobbins to come off the board in the first half of Round 2.
