NFL Draft Diamonds Scouting Report: JK Dobbins, RB, Ohio State University
NFL Draft Diamonds newest addition Bryan Ault has joined our scouting team and he put together this quick scouting report on Ohio State RB JK Dobbins.
- JK Dobbins
- Ohio State
- Running Back
- Exposures: Nebraska (2018)
Description: Four-year starter at tailback, only the sixth player in program history to start in the season opener as a freshman.
Strengths – Solid inside runner with low pad level. Very shifty; rips off some big runs and was especially good in high school; makes the first man miss. Exhibits good vision and patience to follow blocks. Loose hipped: can keep his shoulders parallel and quickly slide his feet and change direction. Finishes forward on contact.
Weaknesses – underdeveloped legs; needs to add bulk but will do so with time. Slow at times to turn the corner on off-tackle runs. Has several runs v. Nebraska which were blocked for him. I would like to see more film before a final evaluation.
