Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins is in jail on Saturday night in Broward County, Florida, after being arrested by the Fort Lauderdale Police Department.

The Browns are “aware and gathering more details,” a team spokesperson told ESPN, which reported Judkins will make his first court appearance on Sunday. He is being held pending his bond hearing, jail records indicate.

Judkins joined Cleveland as the fourth pick in the second round of the NFL Draft on April 25. He has not signed his rookie contract and is scheduled to report to training camp with the Browns’ other rookies on Friday.

At Pike Road, Judkins earned All-State recognition in 2020 and 2021, when he ran for 3,016 yards and scored 51 touchdowns. The Patriots won the AHSAA Class 5A championship for the 2021 season, when Pike Road didn’t lose a game and won all but two of the 14 by at least 25 points.

In two seasons at Ole Miss, Judkins ran for 2,725 yards and 31 touchdowns before transferring to Ohio State. The Buckeyes won the CFP national championship with Judson running for 1,060 yards and scoring 16 touchdowns.

In the 34-23 title-game victory over Notre Dame, Judson ran for 100 yards and two touchdowns on 11 carries and caught two passes for 21 yards and one touchdown.
