The Denver Broncos had something special brewing in the backfield for the first 10 weeks of the 2025 NFL season, as J.K. Dobbins was playing his tail off and finally seemed to be a legitimate solution as the starting running back for the team. However, after a foot injury, his season came to an end.
The Broncos then turned to rookie RJ Harvey to carry more of the load, and while Harvey had an affinity for the explosive runs, he was not a consistent down-to-down running back, and a functional NFL offense has to have that type of player on the roster.
