I'm Cody Roark, Broncos reporter for Mile High Sports. And I'm Sarah Beninger's site expert at predominantly orange.com. And our training camp position previews continue as we now focus on the running back position and really broncos country it's simple choose

your fighter there's a battle royale at this position it'll be the most talked about position previews we look at where the broncos are going to go with the run game this upcoming season we'll take a look at why they reloaded it this off season here in 2025 and we'll talk about which players like jk. Dobbins or jarby who we believe will start for this broncos team this upcoming season and the biggest question surrounding how many running backs will the team keep? You'll get all that action on today's episode of the show. Sarah, let's dive into our position overview here. The key storylines going into training camp here at the running back position. Sean Payton, the Broncos, they viewed this as an area where they felt like they left too much meat on the bone in the run

game last season and they made some decisions to move on from some household names. Javante Williams, who the team drafted in 2021, Sean Payton and the Broncos moving on from him and they go in round two. year's NFL draft and they add in RJ Harvey as a premier selection for them. Then they had JK Dobbins late, late into the offseason program to add to this mix of running backs where you already have four guys here. This truly is the one room. I think we're going to have our eye on all throughout training camp, all throughout the preseason to determine what it's going to look like in the regular season.

Absolutely. I mean, this is going to be the most fun. I think offseason battle to watch offensively because. you have that kind of wide open who's going to be running back one. I know we'll talk more about that. But you mentioned it, Cody, the Broncos reshuffling the deck. Obviously, talk about the players that they brought in. I think we've got to talk quickly about the guy that they let walk out the door,

which was Javonte Williams, former second round pick. Obviously, the team's leader in carries over the last two seasons, dealt with the injury in 2022 that he suffered against the Raiders, came back kind of miraculously quickly in 23. And I don't think we've really ever seen the same guy since that time. There was a there was a stretch of games last season, Cody against Kansas City, the victory that the Broncos had. They had what's the saying there. You had defeat from the jaws of victory or whatever that was. I can't remember exactly how to say that. But the Kansas City game was the starting point for it. Javante had one carry for one yard in that game. Two games later, eight carries for minus two yards.

the next game, four carries for one yard, two games after that, zero carries for zero yards against Cincinnati. I mean, there was just a crazy lack of production from that position at the top that it felt like the Broncos had to try anything and everything that they could to get a spark. It was Tyler Biday early in the season. And then it was, well, there's the Adrick Estimate game against Kansas City, which started that whole downside for Javante Williams. And, you know, there was a number of Joliel McLaughlin games thrown into the. mix and just felt like there's nothing that this Broncos team can find continuity with. And fans were getting frustrated because Sean's not sticking with it. And you and I are saying, what's he supposed to stick with?

Like, I get it. Yeah, we wanted to stick with something, but there's nothing for him to stick with. So, yeah, last year is important context in why the Broncos reshuffled the deck in such a big way here in 2025. Well, the Broncos musical chairs attempt at running back last year was a massive failure. nobody won. And it led to Sean Payton saying that really the grade was incomplete, not just for Adrick Estimate, but really for that running back room last season. But I think when you look at coming into training camp here in just a few weeks, there's some excitement about maybe what can be

here. Now, there's a lot of questions. There's a lot of uncertainty, right? You know, you go out and you add RJ Harvey in the NFL draft. And we love the tape of RJ at UCF. I mean, this is a guy that we feel like and be an explosive, consistent big play, home run threat here for Denver. You add in J.K. Dobbins, who went healthy, is proven to be a very capable back in the National Football League. It was a throw on the Broncos side in that first game against the Chargers last year. But then when you look at just like, okay, how is this fit going to lead to success? We don't know.

We know the Broncos believe that their offensive line is a big reason why they feel like they can be successful in the run game. They felt like the issues in the run game last year wasn't because of the offensive line. it was because of vision at the running back, lack of production, so on and so forth. So now this is really kind of putting a, you know, a theory to the test here. Was it the offensive line or was it a running back issue? That to me, I think we'll find out after the 2025 NFL season, but what is that room going to look like?

We've talked about RJ Harvey. We've talked about J.K. Dobbins. Those guys are going to have some roles. And we'll dive deeper into here. But what does it mean for a guy like Jullin McLaughlin, who right now clearly is the most trusted guy that Sean Payton has at this position. I mean, it's clear as day when they added J.K. Dobbins, we had people in the comments saying, bye-bye, Jalil.

And I was like, hold up, timeout, play it. Don't. That's not the case. Like, Jalilil is going to be very much, I think, a factor on this team in 2025. But you have these younger guys, too, and Blake Watson, who suffered an injury during OTAs and was obviously on the side field. We'll expect him to be back. Audrakeesme, who seemingly looks like he's in the doghouse.

And then Tyler Biday, who's this wildcard underdog that I feel like could make a huge impression here as well. Like Denver right now coming into TrennyCamp in a few weeks, Sarah, they have a lot of options. But my question to you here is, is more a little bit of a problem for the Broncos to have here? Because what if the sample size if Adrick Estimates getting looks with, let's say, the third team offense and that third team offensive line, is that as realistic of a look at him compared to him getting a run with the first team offensive line? I feel like what we may see production-wise, it could be skewed a little bit. And that's not just for estimate. That's for every running back here, depending on who they work with.

I think it could be a problem when you talk about having too many guys out there, right? And it's not because you don't want to have more talent. It's because it feels like, honestly, like Sean wants to get all these guys, they're due. Like he wants them to be able to play. If he's going to keep them around, he wants to put them on the field. We saw that early on last season. I think wasn't Badee on the practice squad or I can't remember exactly how the 53 shook out.

But I mean, he was playing in week three after being on the practice squad to open the year. If memory serves me right. And so you clearly had a situation where they liked a lot of guys. They didn't really love anybody, I feel like. And I think that's, I think that's a fair statement that, you know, Giovante did most of the things well enough to get the bulk of the snaps. But I don't think they were in love with any guy that they had at the position. last year. Estimate was fumbling the ball. Jalil wasn't necessarily able to be out there on every

third down and pass protection. Javante, not running the ball, not seeing the field as well. Badegh gets hurt in his second game that he played last season. So Blake Watson was not ready to go. So there were so many guys that I think they love the talent. They love the projection. They love as Sean says, the vision. But is that going to be the same thing this year? Do they have a clear enough vision with their top guys that when you do decide to utilize your auxiliary weapons, that it's not taking away from the players who are actually able to contribute on a consistent basis? And that's going to be key if they're going to go with a deep group again this season. On Broncos, country, we want to hear from you as well.

What are your thoughts on what the Broncos did this offseason at the running back position, the names that they've added to the mix combined with the names that are returning. But coming up here on today's training camp position preview, Sarah and I, We're going to dive into why we think J.K. Dobbins will be the starter for this Broncos offense, but also why it means that RJ Harvey is going to have a bigger role, even if he's not starting. All on today's episode, Lock on Broncos.

Dobbins may be in line to be the starting running back for the Denver Broncos in 2025, but a rookie R.J. Harvey is going to be in the mix firmly as well. And Coden and are going to tell you exactly what to expect in terms of who starts, why that does and doesn't really matter all that much, and who makes the biggest impact for this Denver Broncos team at running back in 2025, but Broncos Country, thanks so much for rocking with us every single day.

appreciate all of you who make us part of your day. Cody, I'm excited to talk about more of this position because one of the biggest debates that's been going around all offseason is, well, who's going to start at running back for the who's going to be RB1? You know, who's going to be that guy that's out there running out of the tunnel? I think a little bit too much emphasis is put on that based on the fact that we know Sean doesn't necessarily want to go with a bell cow running back in his offense. And like we just discussed in the previous segment,

it's going to be, it's got to be a bit more clarified in terms of who's, who's the, what's the pecking order? Because that does matter. But at the same time, I think you're going to see all these different guys deployed in different ways. And I think so much of that is contingent upon role wherever you're lined up on the field, right? It could be down and distance. Like, for example, there's some of the archetypes that we're factoring in here. You know, is there going to be one guy who's favored to be a goal line back, right? I think if you have a goal line back, What does that player have to have, Sarah? I think good vision, the ability to get north-south quickly because you're in a compressed

field, you're playing defenses that are really trying to pinch every gap there to try to limit your ability to get inside. So do you have a guy who's really good at being able to fight through that? Do you have a guy who's quick enough to get to the outside in a goal line situation? Is that who your goal line back is going to be in what traits does that guy have? Is there going to be a three-down backwards? Hey, first down, second, down, third down. you're having the same guy in on a series,

and then you may change it up after that, but like your first three touches of the game offensively, you know exactly which back is going to be on the field. Is there a guy on the roster right now that's going to fit that archetype? What about short-yardage situation? Is that more of a guy who's a physical bruiser, or is it a guy who's flashy and springy that can, you know, run through contact or avoid a guy to get that first down?

Like, how does Sean Payton envision that? Who's your third down back where it's like, all right, third down, we need really good pass protection and a pass play or we need a guy who can be an effective pass catcher out of the backfield. In my opinion, I think that's how things are going to go regardless if J.K. Dobbin starts, which I believe that is going to be the case. I think J.K. will start. R.J. Harvey will play quite a bit because of where they took him because of the skill set that he has.

But I think so much of how this running back workload is going to be divvied up is based on who's going to establish himself in these specific rules here for Sean Payton. That I think is where things have been problematic. they haven't figured out what that role really is outside of, hey, we know Jibante's a good pass protector. He's going to be in on third down situations because we know he can pass block. Didn't really offer as much as a receiver out of the backfield, though, in 2024 for this offense.

So Sean will have to answer those questions, I think, in order to really establish what that running back room truly is going to look like. And I think one of the things they're going to be looking for early on is which guy is going to keep us ahead of the sticks most frequently on first down, or on early downs. We need a chunk of your. yardage to get a drive starter going or that guy who's going to create when he gets hit in the backfield right after getting the ball. I mean, that's the type of thing that I think is going to

stand out early on. And you and I kind of mentioned this when he was initially signed that the J.K. Dobbins addition to this team is really fascinating in terms of the things that he brought to the table last year and yards after contact, yards after contact per carry, total broken tackles, but also his effectiveness in the month of September. and then trickling into the second month of the season where that's where the Broncos really struggled last year, was early in the year. They struggled to get off to a fast start, especially offensively. And a lot of that has to do with an inability to consistently run the ball.

When you have an offensive line as good as Denver, like you said, we're probably not going to know until at least midway through, if not after the 2025 season, just how much it matters to have a different back out there. But you can't help but be rooting for the devil you don't know at this point, because we saw for two straight years the Broncos struggle with the same exact things every single week. Vision from the ball carriers being a problem. Sean Payton's unwillingness to stick with the running game. And I think number two is a direct result of number one, right? Because Sean didn't believe that he could go to any specific guy on a consistent basis. You rode the hot hand with Jalil. I think Jalil has shown the most over the last two years of any back on this team to be able to say, all right,

at least in terms of having a hot hand, like Joliel McLaughlin has had that. But nobody else has really had a hot hand. There's a couple of decent games from Giovante. Nobody's run for 100 yards since Latavius Murray at the end of the 2022 season against the Chargers with Jerry Rosberg as the interim head coach. The Broncos desperately need somebody that first and foremost,

before we get into who's going to be the Joker, who's going to be the change of pace back, who's going to be the power back, who's going to lead the team and carries. I want to know who's going to be the guy to get four and a half yards or five yards on first down. Every time you have the ball to say, we go to this guy on first down, drive starter. We're instantly in second and six, second and five, or better every time we hand this guy the ball at the beginning of a drive. That's what I want to know first and foremost.

On paper, I think when you look at his college production, I think certainly R.J. Harvey, his ability to make something out of nothing was on display quite a bit there. now he comes to a situation where he's got a better offensive line than he had at UCF. I'm excited to see how that marries together. I think J.K. Dobbins certainly is definitely the prime favor for that. Because when you look at his yard per carry basis, look what happens, Sarah, to the chargers when J.K. Dobbins went down with an injury. Their run game, it's struggle. They didn't have that same juice that allowed Justin Herbert to open up things in the play action game

for the chargers without him. You saw how valuable J.K. was to the mix, which I think in our mind, we looked at that We're like, how come they didn't bring J.K. Dobbins back this offseason? Instead, they go out and they get Najee Harris and, you know, they draft them. Marion Hampton in L.A. could be a mistake there by the chargers and letting J.K. go, especially to the Denver Broncos where he's coming in and he's excited to be able to play that team two times per year. He's going to get first dibs in week three. As you mentioned in the month of September where the Broncos, they've gotten off in

Sean Payton's first two years. They've gotten off the slow starts in September. They've had better months after that, but get off to a fast start, maintain that. the run game is key for the offense. I think taking the next step this season, I think J.K. Dobbins, R.J. Harvey, those are going to be the primary two guys. But then it really, you have to ask the question. You know, Jillin McLaughlin being one of Sean Payton's trusted guys, what does that mean for a guy like R.J. Harvey?

What does it mean for a guy like Tyler Badey and even Blake Watson and Adrick Estimate in this situation to try to beat that? Because Sean Payton has clearly shown if he trust you, you've got a spot in his inner circle. Yeah, he has. And I think that that's a big thing for these back. to earn this offseason, right? And they've all got different hurdles to overcome, don't they?

I mean, J.K. Dobbins, it's the injury concerns. RJ Harvey, you're a rookie. You haven't proven Jack's squat with Jalil McLaughlin. You've had two years in the offense. You've got all the experience over everybody else. And yet you haven't been able to seize that full-time role. Adric estimate, fumbles, Tyler Biday, injury issues, Blake Watson, injury issues combined with inexperience and maybe a lack of clarity over what's going to happen

there. So everybody has hurdles to overcome to get in that Sean Peyton's circle of trust. But this is kind of where you feel like he has to take that leap of faith too, isn't it? Just like you did last year with Riley Moss, just like you're going to do this year with Troy Franklin, just like you did last year with Devon Veil, even Lucas Krull to a large degree, even Greg Dulcich last year. You got to be willing to fall flat on your face in these situations too with young guys because you drafted them because you decided they were worth developing that they were worth, you know, not having, you didn't, you didn't take O'Mary in Handt. You didn't move up for a running back. You didn't even take somebody in this year's draft

until pick 60 when you took RJ Harvey. There's a lot of backs that everybody had in their mock drafts, Cody. I didn't see many with RJ Harvey in them. So you feel like maybe now you've outsmarted everybody with the guys that you've got. You've got to go prove that just like you did with these other guys. We'll see how it all shapes out in Broncos country coming up next on today's episode, Locked on Broncos. We're going to discuss the biggest question on how many running backs Denver will keep and will Audrake Estimate make this roster. We'll share our thoughts on today's episode locked on Broncos. How many running backs will the Broncos carry on their 53 man roster? Could it be three? Could it be four? And will Adric Estimate be one of those players?

Those are some of the biggest questions surrounding the Broncos at running back as we continue our training camp position preview here on today's episode of the show. Sarah, let's start off with probably the biggest question here. And that really has to do with Audrake Estimate. We'll get into how many running backs they'll keep, because that's obviously a big question here. But the biggest one is, will Adrick Estimate be on this roster when the regular season rolls around in 2025?

There's a lot of different contrasting opinions on that based on what we've seen in the offseason program, based on what we saw last year, knowing Sean Payton's history of saying, hey, it doesn't matter where you're drafted. If there's someone who's playing better than you or that we can trust more, we're going to go with that guy. this makes things very, very interesting surrounding the status of Adrake Esteve. It really does.

He's entering training camp, I think, firmly on the roster bubble, right? And I know that Sean Payton said, don't try to figure that stuff all out right now. Don't try to figure out numbers right now. But look, we're going to be doing that. That's what we do. That's our job is to try to project that kind of stuff, even if we are going to end up being wrong about it, which I know I was last year, Cody. I didn't have the Broncos keeping four backs on the active 53-man roster at the beginning.

of the season, and that's exactly what they did. They kept four backs and three quarterbacks and four tight ends. It was kind of a surprising roster construction, but they manipulate it by you throw Michael Burton on the practice squad for the initial couple of weeks, and you kind of see how injuries affect that. And I think they'll be able to do that again if they want to. So I think it does lend itself toward more the four backs, you know, projection for me. And I think that that's what we're going to see because of the talent that they have

there and the guys they believe in there. I think that's going to be important for them to continually, you know, that's why I think Estimate is kind of in the same boat or a similar boat as somebody like a Greg Dulcich, where the Broncos had a high grade on him. They believe that he can be something. You can't give up on him immediately. But then there's that story that Sean always tells about the fourth round rookie that they took. And then you signed Pierre Thomas as an undrafted guy and he ends up beating him out for a roster spot. I don't think you have to always cut the draft pick. But, you know, maybe this is a situation where they feel like it's best for both parties. Well, if you think there's going to be four backs on the roster and obviously as we factor in,

Autrakest, maybe being in that mix here, I think that special teams play is going to factor in whether or not that, you know, who that fourth back is, right? And when I look at where Denver is at and when I look at the trend of the offseason program, Tyler Bade and Blake Watson probably make more sense to be that fourth back, considering those guys can be that other kick return. an option right next to Marvin Mims because you're going to have two returners on kick return. And also, can you play other positions on special teams? Unless Adrick embraces playing a special teams role, if he's just designated just being a

running back here and doesn't have, you know, room to wiggle with, you know, with Darren and Rizzy on special teams, it's harder to justify keeping a guy around here because what, even Sean told us when we asked him about the safety position, you know, because you have Talenoa whofonga, you have Brandon Jones as the starters. I asked Sean about, you know, what do you want to see from those other guys? He's like, it's hard to be that third safety or that fourth safety. If you don't play special teams, I think the same thing kind of rings true here for the running back position. Yeah, I think so too.

That's going to loom large because who does play it, right? I don't know. I don't know who plays like a core four role at all. I think that estimate may have the best chance because of his size. But like you said, how much does a return game make a factor here? Because you're going to have way more returns this coming season. at least that's the assumption. And I know we talked about that last offseason.

It wasn't the case. Teams were totally willing to give the opposition, the ball at the 30 and had seemingly no problem with that. This year with it going up to the 35, I think everyone expects it to be a much bigger part of the discussion. And with a guy like Marvin Mims back there, teams aren't going to want to kick it to him. So the Broncos have to find that other guy that can be an asset in the return game and not

just somebody that's going to be, oh, yeah, well, we got somebody out there who's done it before. I think you want somebody that can actually make, make plays in that department. So that is where somebody like Blake Watson, Tyler Badey, with their speed, their playmaking ability in space can really be a potential asset.

And that does hurt Audrick Estimates chances. Well, let's play a little game here, right? You and I are both going to go back and forth. I'm going to start with you first and then we'll direct it. You can direct it to me. Projecting this running back room, okay?

I want you to give me how many players you think are going to be on the 53, and I want you to tell me who those players are, whether it's three, whether it's four, who they are and why, Sarah, you're on the clock. I think it's going to be four running backs on the team. I think you start off with J.K. Dobbins and R.J. Harvey. And then I think Julele McLaughlin is enough of one of Sean Payton's guys that he's going to keep him around. That fourth back is where it gets interesting because if somebody does emerge in the kicking game, I think they're going to take that spot.

But ultimately, I think you give one more shot to Audrick estimate he rounds. out that fourth spot and you try to get one of those other guys back on the practice squad if you can at all. I'm interested to know, do you agree? Do you have somebody different in there? Do you think they're going to keep less than four? Or maybe, what are your thoughts? I've got them keeping three if I'm giving my projection. And it's the guys that you mentioned. It is J.K. Dobbins, R.J. Harvey and J. Loune McLaughlin with Blake Watson returning on the practice squad. I think Tyler Bidde, look, Tyler has got a chip on his shoulder. Tyler wants to be on the 53. He felt like he should have been on it last year. And I'd say if we look,

at what he did in training camp, what he did in the preseason, Sarah, nobody made a better argument than Tyler Badea making the 53 last year. And so I think that was frustrating he didn't get to do it because this is a guy who is explosive. And we certainly saw that in that Tampa Bay game when he got to carry there. And obviously, we want to see a little bit more in that monsoon game. That's when he suffered the scary injury. You know, luckily he was able to make it back. This is a guy who does get positive yards every time he touches the ball. So I imagine if there was a situation here where Badey gets released in the teams like, hey, we want to bring you back on the practice squad.

I think if there's another team out there, let's say he clears waivers. I think that there would be a situation where Badee is like, no, I want to go play elsewhere because I've been in this situation since 2022. I want to find a way where I can go play here in 2025. And I think that's the dilemma. But I think that would also be the pill of Denver carries four.

I think Badee would be my fourth guy and Watson will be back on the practice squad. But I'm going to stick to my prediction. Three running backs. on the 53, Dobbins, Harvey, and Jalil with Bade and or Watson returning on the practice squad. I think just based on what I've seen so far in the offseason program, I just don't know if that relationship between Sean Payton and Adrakesmate. I don't know if it's great. I mean, that's just my speculation.

I don't know if they just view it as being something that's going to work because of some of the stuff that has occurred in the first year. But I could have be entirely wrong there. I'm interested to know what do you think he has to do to make this team? I mean, if as of right now, you're predicting that he's not going to make it, what do you think he's got to do at training camp and during the preseason to really make sure that this team keeps him and doesn't regret letting him? Because that's another thing Sean Payne talks about. We don't want to have somebody here that we regret letting go at another point down the road.

What do you think Audrake has to do to make the Broncos believe like, all right, if we let this guy go, it's going to be a problem for us. Yeah, make it undeniable in training camp practices. look, in your first, leading up to your first two pre-season games, you're going to have two joint practices. I think you have to show a lot in those practice scenarios right there. I think more importantly, though, it's taking care of the football and practice. You can't have a fumble. You know, when you're doing team drills, it doesn't matter.

Audric has to secure the football because let's say there's one fumble by Audrey, that because of his history there, that's going to be magnified. You know, us in the media, we're going to talk about it. I know for the coaches they're going to talk about it. And maybe there was some concern that even last year during practices, in the regular season in which we, the media, don't get to see the full practices the way we do in training camp. Maybe there were some rumblings that Adrick was put in the ball on the ground during those practices.

That can put you in the doghouse, essentially. So ball security, I think, is going to be the top thing here for Adric. And then just showcase that you can be north-south. Don't dance around. Get north-south. Get positive yards. And I think just the attitude, just come in and say, hey, the odds are stacked against me, which can be a little unfair here.

But I think his attitude is going to definitely be another factor that we look into that to him saying, hey, I'm going to be on this roster. I think that's the type of response that Sean wants to see from him. So I'm excited to see how it's all going to transpire. I am too. I think that over the course of training camp and the preseason, these guys can start to be physical again. The pads come on. You get out there against other teams during joint practices. You know that other teams are going to be watching your backfield this year because the Broncos do have a lot of guys that the ink is still kind of drying on

their scouting reports from the pre-draft process. So seeing what guys they may want to bring in to give a shot in their system and see if it can work out better for them in a new spot. So that's another thing that you're kind of contending with here is that you've given yourself enough talent, enough intrigue at the position. Now you really have to get this one right because you have more guys than are going to be on your roster come time for the start of the season. San Francisco has been a team that's almost been impacted with injuries every year at

running back, whether it be Christian McCaffrey, whether it be in years past guys like Elijah Mitchell Rahim Moster. That is a unit where they're always looking to have backs. And so I feel like if, Audrick is on the bubble and is in danger of not making the roster, San Francisco could be a team. They see something during those joint practices. It could even influence the decision.

I say, hey, we need a back. We'll trade your capital to be able to get. That's always a possibility when you have as many backs that the Broncos currently have on the roster right now. I think that's something we have to factor into consideration. Arizona, probably not. I don't think they would be Arizona, maybe New Orleans. I mean, you never know with New Orleans.

You know, they got Alvin Camara, but, you know, could they get another guy there in the mix of a big bruiser guy like Audrey? Probably there. But I think those are the things we're going to watch all throughout the entire offseason in Broncos country. We're going to continue our training camp position previews as well. You heard about the running back position here today being reloaded. We'll tell you why the safety room for the Broncos going into training camp is loaded on tomorrow's episode, Locked on Broncos. You know,
