Marvin Kinsey, Jr., RB, Colorado State

Projected round: Undrafted

The Broncos have used the undrafted free-agent process to bring in former Rams running backs in the past such as Cecil Sapp and Kapri Bibbs. Could Kinsey be the next to get a chance?

Kinsey isn’t really on the radar of many teams in terms of a draft pick, so he will almost certainly have to go the undrafted route, but Lindsay has proven that can be done.

Kinsey was a solid runner for the Rams, racking up over 1,600 yards in his four seasons there while scoring 17 touchdowns. He added 40 receptions and scored another three touchdowns through the air to help some pretty poor Colorado State teams.

But perhaps his most impressive statistic is his career average of 5.4 yards per carry.

But Kinsey would not come without some concerns. Though he has good size at 6-foot-1 and 206 pounds, he was suspended during his senior season for reasons that have not ever fully come out and he also had an issue protecting the ball.

Those will be the biggest reasons for him going undrafted. The suspension is especially concerning, as it came during his senior season and that is the way his college career ended. At the time of the suspension, he was averaging 100.4 yards rushing per game which was best in the Mountain West Conference.

Still, teams have nothing to lose with undrafted players and Kinsey could be a nice addition to a 90-man roster as a guy coming into camp with something to prove.
