Juwan Thompson- RB

With the Broncos signing Jamaal Charles during the offseason, this puts Juwan Thompson in an interesting situation. He was quite a surprise addition to the roster as a rookie when he made the final 53. Now with a crowded backfield, it could be challenging to find a spot for him on the roster.

There are two ways I can see Thompson making the roster. The Broncos could decide to release a running back that is not performing like they would like. Another option could be to move him to fullback and have him split with Andy Janovich.

The latter could be more likely, but I just cannot see Mike McCoy carrying two fullbacks. Especially when there are higher needs at other positions.

Juwan Thompson has to really prove himself during the dog days of summer. Otherwise, he could find himself on a new team.
