Jeremy Cox
Jeremy Cox got a look with the Chargers last offseason after completing his college career at Old Dominion, and wound up signing a reserve/futures contract with the Broncos following the 2019 season.
The Chargers tried him out as a fullback, but I don’t think that’s what he will be in Denver. He has the athletic skills to be a running back in the NFL, and he might be somewhat of a sleeper for the Broncos.

Cox has an ideal build for the position at 6-feet, 223 pounds. He is built like a washing machine but he’s incredibly athletic for his compact size.
This dude ran a 4.42 in the 40-yard dash at the Old Dominion pro day and also posted a 39-inch vertical jump, 25 bench press reps, and a 6.90 in the three-cone drill.
All of the athletic traits are there, but Cox might invite a little too much contact for the NFL level. He was so successful in college just bouncing off of would-be tacklers, but he didn’t necessarily always use his tremendous athletic traits to be elusive in the open field.
He will have to prove in Denver that he can do a combination of both — plus play special teams — to crack the final roster.
