Javonte Williams- Denver Broncos running back

Javonte Williams isn’t just one of the best prospects under 25 years old on this roster, he is one of the best young prospects in football, having recently turned just 22.

Williams is clearly the running back of the future for the orange and blue and though Melvin Gordon has stated that he is not ready to concede the starting job to the second-year player, the obvious choice seems for Williams to be the lead back.

Williams rushed for 903 yards as a rookie but it was his tough, hard-nosed rushing style that made him a favorite of the fans in Denver and those managers who had him on their fantasy football team.

He is young, strong and he runs with such a determined style that he is going to make some big waves in his second year.

The Broncos are going to be in some dogfights this coming season, particularly in games played against AFC West opponents. Williams is going to be a huge weapon for them in those games.
