The Denver Broncos have a rich history of cranking out successful running backs no matter their draft status.

The franchise’s all-time leader in rushing yards remains former league MVP, Super Bowl MVP, and Hall of Famer Terrell Davis (7,607) and despite the Broncos’ success at quickly developing talent at the running back position, they haven’t had anyone really sustain that success over a long period of time.

Tatum Bell has the 11th most rushing yards in Denver Broncos history.
