The Browns selected Tennessee RB Dylan Sampson with the 126th pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. After splitting carries with current Dolphin Jaylen Wright in 2023, Sampson took off in a three-down role for Tennessee in 2024. He rushed 258 times for 1,491 yards and 22 TDs, adding 20 catches. The 20-year-old ran for at least 92 yards in every SEC game last season. Sampson’s smooth transition and cutback ability between the tackles make him a more complete back than Wright was last year. Tennessee doesn’t use their RBs in the passing game much, so Sampson’s a bit of a wild card in that area. Still, we’re encouraged by his overall skill set, and there’s potential for him to make an early-career fantasy impact.
Sampson was expected to be a top-100 pick as a very smooth mover who may still have room to grow
