If there’s anyone on the Denver Broncos’ roster right now that is absolutely playing with house money, it’s the recently acquired running back/return specialist/offensive weapon Adrian Killins.

Killins was recently let go by the Philadelphia Eagles, and after injuries to both Mike Boone and LeVante Bellamy, the Denver Broncos brought him in for a look.

With the kick and punt return jobs open and now potentially a spot in the running back room at the start of the season, Killins just has to come out against Seattle and do what he does best — blow by people with his elite speed.

Killins was a very interesting and fun weapon when he played at UCF, racking up 33 offensive touchdowns there and adding a kickoff return touchdown as well.

Although he’s small, he has a chance to make huge plays every time he touches the ball.

Hopefully, we will see the Denver Broncos get him some looks in the return game to try and make his case for that job.

There are plenty of other players vying for those jobs and some of those guys are already making strong cases for the roster (hello, Trinity Benson).

Killins has nothing to lose with his two-game audition in Denver and everything to gain.
