The Denver Broncos picked running back RJ Harvey in the second round of the 2025 NFL draft last week. Harvey played college football at UCF, finishing his career with 1,577 yards on the ground and 22 touchdowns in 2024.

The NFL Draft has crystallized where opportunity exists on the roster for the Broncos, including a big one for second-year RB Audric Estimé.

Harvey brings that vision and explosiveness to the running back stable that Denver was missing, leading the FBS in gains of 10-plus yards. Wrap your brain around this: nearly one-quarter of his carries (23.3%) eclipsed 10 yards, and 35.1% went for either a first down or touchdown.
