Ohio State RB JK Dobbins Drives to Dolphins Facility for Friday Pre-Draft Visit

The new NFL league year is fast approaching, barring any delays in line with the rest of the sports world shutting down.

That means NFL Draft preparations are continuing for teams with open facilities. The Miami Dolphins are one of those franchises that remain up and running, and they're hosting Ohio State running back JK Dobbins for a visit Friday.

By the way, OSU’s JK Dobbins has been living and training in South Florida. This was a drive. https://t.co/1uqf1UCRmZ

Dobbins is living in South Florida, which means he did not have to take the risk of going on an airplane. That should ease the minds of both the young man and those with the Dolphins.

Per source, Dolphins are so high on Ohio State RB JK Dobbins that they moved up his "30" visit from mid April to today in case league eliminates 30 visits as part of coronavirus response. Teams can bring in 30 non-local players for predraft visits.

Dobbins rushed for 2,003 yards and 21 touchdowns in 2019. He eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark in all three of his collegiate seasons.

The Dolphins are incredibly thin at running back. Ryan Fitzpatrick led the team in rushing with 243 yards last season, in case anyone is wondering why the team is so set on drafting Dobbins. He would immediately be the top man in the backfield, and could be paired with a quarterback like Tua Tagovailoa or Justin Herbert in 2020.
