In an amusing—and highly relatable—moment at the 2025 NFL draft on Friday, the Cleveland Browns called, but running back Quinshon Judkins was not there to answer. Judkins, who was watching the draft with his family and friends, had to get up and leave the room for a moment, leaving an empty seat on the couch in his wake. The Browns, who were on the clock with the 36th overall pick they intended to utilize to select Judkins, were attempting to get in touch with the Ohio State halfback to inform him where he'd be playing pro football.

Judkins's draft party then answered the phone and informed the Browns that he wasn't in the room, to the amusement of those in the team's draft room. Judkins's family and friends then proceeded to yell for him, and after a few short moments, he appeared to answer the phone.
