J.K. Dobbins is certainly a name to remember once the 2020 NFL Draft rolls around.
The Ohio State prospect is one of the best running backs the upcoming draft has to offer, and there’s a chance he’ll be on the board when the Bills have their first pick in the second round at No. 54 overall. Now there’s a connection, too.
According to The Houston Chronicle the Bills had a pre-draft interview with Dobbins:
Ohio State running back J.K. Dobbins has video conferences with several teams, including Texans, Kansas City Chiefs, Green Bay Packers, Buffalo Bills, Detroit Lions, New Orleans Saints, Miami Dolphins, per a league source. He visited Dolphins prior to the NFL shutting down visits

While the Bills do have Devin Singletary, who was recently dubbed the team’s No. 1 back by general manager Brandon Beane, Buffalo could still use another back. Frank Gore is likely out as he has yet to be re-signed by the team despite him saying he wants to play in 2020, and Buffalo’s only No. 2 option currently is TJ Yeldon, who was inactive most of last season.
Dobbins put up massive numbers during his junior year at Ohio State. He rushed for 2,003 yards and 21 rushing touchdowns. Dobbins was a big-time player for the Buckeyes, averaging 173 rushing years in Ohio State’s two post-regular season games. Dobbins isn’t an overly large back at 5-foot-9, but at 209 pounds, he’s still got some size to him.
