Cleveland Browns draft pick Quinshon Judkins arrested for alleged domestic battery incident.

Cleveland Browns rookie Quinshon Judkins was arrested on Saturday in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on suspicion of domestic battery. The Fort Lauderdale Police confirmed that officers responded to a call regarding a delayed battery incident at a location that appeared to consist of commercial businesses near Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport. Following a preliminary investigation, police determined that an act of battery had indeed occurred.

Judkins was identified as the suspect, and he was subsequently arrested and charged with misdemeanor battery. The police did not provide further details about the incident, and, as of Sunday morning, Judkins remained in custody. Efforts to reach representatives for Judkins for comment were unsuccessful.

The Cleveland Browns have acknowledged the situation, stating that they are aware of the incident and are in the process of gathering more information. Judkins was drafted by the Browns in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft, being the 36th overall pick. His college football career included stints at the University of Mississippi and Ohio State University, where he achieved a national championship in 2024.

As of now, Judkins is among roughly 30 rookies who have yet to finalize their contracts with their teams. Reports indicate that discussions are ongoing regarding contract guarantees for this group of new players. The situation is evolving, and both the Browns organization and Judkins are likely to face scrutiny as more information becomes available.
