Broncos' Willis McGahee still going strong after 1,000-yard season in '11

[Denver Native (Carol)]

There's conventional wisdom. And then there's Willis McGahee.

Take a poll of personnel people around the NFL about players who may have aged somewhat gracefully in a league that usually punishes its 30-something crowd with the threat of unemployment, and McGahee's name will inevitably come up.

After all, he led the league's No. 1 rushing team in rushing in 2011 at age 30. He also went to the Pro Bowl — as an injury replacement — to close out his ninth year in the league. And he has done all this having started his career as a Buffalo Bills rookie in 2003, one who had torn three ligaments in his left knee in his final college game.

Hell's yes.

if he and moreno can stay healthy, i think we actually have a very dynamic trio in them and hillman. peyton will only open things up for these guys, moreno is good receiving out of the backfield, and i have a feeling that hillman in space is going to be a ton of fun to watch.

I would be very happy with 1000 by him and 500+ from hillman

yards RUSHING is no longer going to be the bellweather of contributions!
total yards from scrimmage is the important stat, and as i stated, keeping PM safe and upright, the first priority !
who we got at fullback?
and dont be surprized if we leave the huddle with 3 TEs and one ends up in the backfield !

I want a thousand yards from scrimmage from hillman !

Isn't Gronkowski the pick-up at fullback?

Boy would I love to see that and have our runningbacks stay healthy. Don't expect it, but boy would that be a nice addition.
