River Cracraft, Slot receiver

Similar to Kenny Bell, River Cracraft was productive in college for four straight years.

Unlike Bell, however, Cracraft produced almost entirely from the slot.

The Broncos targeted Cracraft a couple of times last season, signing him to the practice squad one week, and he was injured almost immediately after signing with the team.

They released him and re-signed him later in the season when he was healthy, and he put some nice things on tape.

Showing off some quick feet there, Cracraft has to stand out this offseason as a route runner and probably as a punt returner if he’s going to make the Broncos’ final roster.

That’s something he can certainly do.

If he can get himself open and prove himself to be sure-handed, this is a guy that could end up becoming a really nice weapon for the Broncos.
