5. Juwan Thompson

Thompson is moving to fullback this offseason, or the rumor is he will at least be splitting between running back and fullback. He’s been on the roster since making the team as a UDFA in 2014 and provides the Broncos with some special teams ability.

What He Brings to the Table

Thompson is just a good football player. He played RB, FB, LB, and special teams at Duke, and the Broncos took notice of him when he worked out with Peyton Manning and the boys during the 2014 offseason.

He’s not a burner, and he’s not a bell cow running back. He just does a lot of things well and he’s been a nice piece of the Broncos’ offense and special teams.
