02Scheme fit
Ideal system

Dobbins projects best in a run-heavy, inside zone or gap scheme featuring power and counter runs, allowing him to leverage his lower body to shed tackles.

Best role

As a rookie, Dobbins can immediately contribute as a rotational back in a run-heavy offense, eventually developing into a lead back handling 15-20 carries per game with pass-catching upside.

Wrong fit

A pass-heavy Air Raid or spread offense that relies on outside zone and pass-catching backs would diminish his impact.

Dobbins's powerful running style and contact balance make him a valuable asset in schemes that prioritize downhill running and physicality.

Selected #55 overall in Round 2 of the 2020 NFL Draft by Baltimore Ravens out of Ohio State.
