According to reports, the Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs may have some interest in Ohio State running back J.K. Dobbins.
Dobbins, considered one of the top running backs available in the draft, rushed for over 2,000 yards in 2019, setting the single-season Ohio State record with a rare blend of power, vision, and ground-breaking ability.
According to Chiefs Wire, Kansas City has had a keen interest in several prospects at the NFL Combine, but could not confirm that Dobbins was one of the players they met with in Indianapolis.
However, according to a report from ESPN’s Field Yates, the Chiefs recently had a FaceTime chat with Dobbins. Many teams are forced to use online communication rather than in-person meetings because of the COVID-19 health crisis.
While Dobbins would be a good fit in Kansas City with his ability to pass protect and catch out of the backfield, the Chiefs would likely have to pick him with the last pick in round one, or wheel and deal with another team to improve their draft position to earlier in the second round.
