The Denver Broncos drew criticism after re-signing running back J.K. Dobbins this offseason. While fans welcomed the acquisition of wide receiver Jaylen Waddle via trade, many were dissatisfied with the decision to retain the injury-prone Dobbins on a two-year deal. General manager George Paton may have felt pressured to act after key free agent running backs signed elsewhere. Dobbins, ranked fifth in rushing last season when healthy, will be supported by fourth-round pick Jonah Coleman and second-year runner RJ Harvey in what the Broncos hope will be a stronger rushing attack moving forward.
