Garrett Podell predicts high rushing yardage for Quinshon Judkins against Jaguars defense

CBS Sports analyst Garrett Podell has projected a strong performance for Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins in the team's Week 1 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The prediction anticipates Judkins rushing for more than 75 yards during the contest. This outlook contrasts with the Jacksonville Jaguars status as the top-ranked run defense from the previous season. The Jaguars enter the game with a defensive unit featuring rookie additions and returning players, though the team must also manage the departure of linebacker Devin Lloyd. Cleveland will likely look to Judkins to navigate a Jacksonville front that remains under the coordination of Anthony Campanile. The performance of the Cleveland offensive line, which is expected to start two rookies, remains a factor in the outcome of the backfield production.
