NFL Trade Rumors
Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins is currently third in the NFL with 634 rushing yards after signing a one-year deal last offseason. Denver QB Bo Nix is glad to have Dobbins in their offense and points out how the running back contributes a lot as a blocker.
“We were fortunate to acquire him,” Nix said, via BroncosWire. “He hasn’t skipped a beat. He’s done exactly what J.K. does and that’s run very physical, very tough. I think the most… the craziest thing about today is you see his rushing yards and he goes for a lot… one of the big, explosive touchdowns to Troy [Franklin] he has to come across and pick up a linebacker, or a safety, and he’s willing to do that. He sticks his face in there, he’s not a prima donna that is not worried about getting hit, or not wanting to protect, or just wanting the football. He just does whatever the team needs him to do. I think that is just a representation of where we all are right now as a team. No matter what happens, we just want to make the right play and score touchdowns. He was able to… he allowed us to do a lot of that today, by his rushing and by his protecting. We scored a lot today because of guys like that.”
Dobbins feels he made the right decision by signing with the Broncos.
“The dream is to get a ring, you know what I’m saying?” Dobbins said. “I do know, a lot of people — a lot of people didn’t think I was going to be that good, like to be honest. I don’t know where I stand in rushing, but I do know today, me and my boys went over another 100-yard game. I don’t know when that has been done in the past. I am proving myself right that I made the right decision coming here. I appreciate everybody here. It has been a dream because I love Coach Sean Payton, he’s a great person. The offensive line is amazing, the defense is amazing, then the ownership is amazing. Maybe I was born to be a Bronco. It just took a little time to get here, had to get over them mountains, you know.”
