Former Ohio State running back signs one-year deal with the Denver Broncos

Former Ohio State running back J.K.

Dobbins is on the move.

It's been a wild ride for Dobbins in his short NFL career.

After being selected by the Baltimore Ravens in the second round of the 2020 NFL draft, the former Buckeye star had a respectable rookie season, rushing for over 800 yards and putting down the foundation of what looked like a promising and productive career.That's when things took a turn.Dobbins suffered a torn ACL in a preseason game prior to the start of the 2021-2022 season and missed the entire year.

He rehabbed but again suffered knee problems the following year, only to come back and tear his ACL during the 2023-2024 season.

Dobbins signed a new contract with the Los Angeles Chargers prior to the 2024-2025 season and had what could only be described as a bounce-back year, having his most productive campaign of his career by rushing for 905 yards and nine touchdowns.

Dobbins also had some yards as a receiver, putting him over 1,000 yards from scrimmage.

Now, after all of that rehab and resiliency, Dobbins will be joining the Denver Broncos on a reportedly one-year, $5.25 million deal.

The base salary of the contract is $2.75 million, but many incentives are available to push him over $5 million.J.K.

When healthy, he's shown that he can be a difference maker in the backfield, and the Broncos are banking on exactly that.

Hopefully, he has a season where he's on the field as much as possible, and that translates into a long-term deal.Contact/Follow us @BuckeyesWire on X (formerly Twitter) and like our page on Facebook to follow ongoing coverage of Ohio State news, notes and opinion.
