Free-agent running backs for Broncos to consider: Dontrell Hilliard

If the Broncos wanted to move away from the bigger names still available, Dontrell Hilliard would be a good under-the-radar player to consider.

Hilliard has played for three teams in his career but he put together a nice stretch with the Tennessee Titans last year before a neck injury in December ended his season. The status of that injury would have to be checked on but Hilliard is another guy who can catch the ball out of the backfield and make something happen.

He caught 21 passes for 177 yards and four receiving touchdowns last year as a player deep on the depth chart. He could come into the Broncos' stable of backs and add a versatile weapon to back up Williams and Perine.

He would be much easier on the salary cap than players like Hunt and others that are still out there.

Another similar player to consider would be J.D. McKissic but Hilliard may be able to churn out tough yards in certain situations a bit better, though McKissic is also a good receiver.
