I love this pick. I hope he can break those big runs in Denver. We haven't seen that in a long time.

Of course DBs are a lot faster in the NFL. But, who cares? He's a good strong back for a backfield that has lost CJ Anderson and desperately needed an infusion of talent. If he only breaks it for 12 yards that will be fine.

I hope DT and Sanders note the great downfield blocking by the WR's...

So do I.

The only college ball I watch at all is Oregon. I've seen Royce Freeman for four years. I'm excited.

I don't know anything about him other than his highlight reel. What are his strengths?

He's faster than you would think for a man that goes 230ish and he does not go down after contact. He has good hands out of the backfield and he smells paydirt. He had 60 TDs at Oregon a Pac12 record.

I think we are going to love him.

I saw the commentary on him running over LBs and DBs. So, he's going to be the new workhorse back, while DeAngelo Henderson is the change of pace guy.

There seems to be some concern that he has been worked to death in Oregon, but RB careers don't last long anyway, and he's a 3rd rounder. If he gets 5 good years that's great.

I'm enthusiastic that the Broncos have another instant impact player.

That's the beauty of having 2 other decent backs. We don't have to murder the kid. We'll keep him fresh.

Forgot to add, he's DURABLE!

He kinda reminds me of a faster version of CJ Anderson.

But at least in college, he wasn't in the training room all the time.

That's exactly what Elway said.

Yeah I just mean his running style and build.

As much as there were things to complain about with CJ I will always like that dude. He was a great guy and a good player for us. He was easily the offensive MVP for us during the SB run and had a very underappreciated great game in SB50. I really hope he catches on with someone and kicks some ass. He's an all-around good dude.
