Dobbins’ strengths
According to ESPN’s stats on Dobbins, the three-year back didn’t record a single fumble. That’s over 700 carries and not a single one hit the ground. That’s some serious ball security.
On top of taking care of the ball, Dobbins is a hard downhill runner and showed at the collegiate level that he can break tackles with ease. He’s also got the speed to be a game-breaker once he gets in the second level.
His sturdy 5-foot, 10-inch, 217-pound frame should allow him to continue to bulldoze opponents.

Here’s another point made by CBS Sports’ Heath Cummings.
“Dobbins displays good footwork on tape and was very good at setting up defenders behind his outstanding offensive line. He showed us in 2019 that he can handle a workhorse role as well.”
Dobbins may not go at the top end of the draft, but he might end up being the most productive back in this class when we look back on it.
