John Elway made it known that the Denver Broncos will address the running back position early and they did just that in the third round with Royce Freeman.

CJ Anderson’s release left the Denver Broncos with two running backs on the roster. A door became open to take one early in the NFL Draft. The selection of Royce Freeman to Denver is very interesting due to his upside.

Royce Freeman does compare to CJ Anderson. However, he is so much more athletic than him. Freeman has underrated quickness and athleticism to separate well.

It some ways he does bounce off defenders, but he keeps his legs moving unlike Anderson. One of the complaints for Anderson is the initial contact, but Royce Freeman keeps the chains moving.

Even if the Broncos view Devontae Booker as a starter this season, the new offensive NFL says multiple players at running back is way to go. On the other hand, Booker needs to show up. This is the exact pick in a deep class at running that can challenge Devontae. Freeman has the makings to be a possible steal, let’s be honest.

One of my favorite traits of Royce Freeman is he is underrated in big play ability. I mean just look at the highlights.
