Browns' Quinshon Judkins matches Nick Chubb in Cleveland RB history with rookie record image

Quinshon Judkins could've had an even bigger game Sunday in London.

But the Cleveland Browns' rookie running back had a 50-yard touchdown called back due to a holding penalty.

With that in mind, Judkins had to settle for a day with 110 rushing and 18 receiving yards in a narrow loss.

It's the second consecutive game in which Judkins has topped 100 yards from scrimmage, and that makes Browns history.

The last rookie to do that two games in a row for the Browns was Nick Chubb in 2018, according to ESPN's Daniel Oyefusi.

Chubb is the best running back in the modern era of the Browns, so for Judkins to be keeping that company is a great sign.

Watching Judkins from run to run on Sunday was to see a player who might just be a star in the making.

He's both quick and strong, shifty and physical. Judkins can make people miss, or he can shrug defenders off of him.

He finishes his runs with power, usually getting an extra yard or two from whatever it looks like he's going to end up with.

Judkins had a bumpy offseason. He had legal trouble that eventually was dropped, then had an NFL investigation. He wasn't suspended, but Judkins didn't sign with the Browns until the eve of Week 1, so he didn't make his debut until Week 2.

But since Judkins has been on the field, he has clearly looked like he belongs. The Browns may have their RB of the future here right now.
