The Denver Broncos are a team that competes in the National Football League (NFL) and call Denver, Colorado, home. The franchise debuted in the American Football League (AFL) in 1960 as a founder member and later became a member of the National Football League (NFL) as part of the league’s merger in 1970.
Since 1975, the Denver Broncos have been one of the most successful teams in the National Football League (NFL), with only eleven losing seasons to their name.
Who will be Denver’s starting running back?
Javonte Williams is said to be the starting running back for the Denvors, according to several publications. During the 2021 NFL Draft, Williams was chosen by the Denver Broncos in the second round, moving them up to the 35th overall spot.
On July 23, 2021, Williams put pen to paper on a rookie deal with Denver that went on for four years. Williams had competition for the backup running back spot from both Royce Freeman and Mike Boone going into his first training camp. Boone and Freeman were Williams’ teammates.
Williams has officially designated a backup running back for the Broncos after the team dismissed Freeman during final roster cuts.
As a result of Melvin Gordon’s injury, Williams was given the opportunity to start for the first time in his career during Week 12’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Despite the fact that the Broncos were defeated by a score of 22-9, Williams ended the game with 23 runs for 102 yards, 6 catches for 76 yards, and a receiving touchdown.
