Royce Freeman – RB

It was the NFL debut for Royce Freeman and the bright lights proved not to be too big for him. Freeman rotated with Devontae Booker with the starters on the Broncos’ second series.

He was more decisive with his cuts, hitting the hole, and vision than any of the Broncos’ other tailbacks on Saturday.

An even more impressive play featured a zone read which Freeman took and bounced it up the right side for a 23-yard touchdown run.

Did you miss any of Freeman’s runs? The NFL’s Official Twitter account made this just for you in case you did.

I know the sample size is small after one preseason game, but Freeman appears to be the most well rounded running back on the roster.
