Mile High Report
Another Saturday and you know what that means—another installment of Future Broncos. Last weekend, I took a look at several wide receivers the Denver Broncos should consider that would bolster the position group out long-term. This week, I wanted to highlight several players at running back Denver should take a look at to do the same.
In the 2025 NFL Draft, the Broncos added R.J. Harvey into the mix. He will be a focal point of the team’s plans down the road but is still learning to hit his stride in the pros. Free agent acquisition J.K. Dobbins has helped revitalize the Broncos rushing attack and has performed very well over the past two weeks. Even so, he only signed a short-term deal this past summer. This season, Tyler Badie has been a mainstay as the team’s third running back and best option in pass protection. Meanwhile, third-year pro Jaleel McLaughlin has been a healthy scratch for every game.
All things considered, this is not a position group that the Broncos need to use early round draft capital on. Therefore, I won’t be highlighting top prospects like Notre Dame standout Jeremiyah Love, Washington prospect Jonah Coleman, or the Penn State duo of Nicholas Singleton and Kaytron Allen—who all figure to be early round picks given their play to date. Instead, I’ll opt for a few players I think are in that late Day 2 to early Day 3 mix for the time being. With the Broncos having an extra fourth round selection from the Saints, that gives them the ability to consider adding a back while also addressing more important needs.
Le’Veon Moss — Texas A&M — (5’11”, 210 pounds, 4.42 40-yard dash)
Based on talent and past performance, senior running back Le’Veon Moss definitely has the ability to be a Day 2 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. However, medical issues could cause the talented prospect to experience a bit of a draft day tumble. Moss returned to Texas A&M for his senior season after suffering a season ending ACL and MCL tear last November.
Prior to injury, he was one of the best backs in college football and having a stellar junior campaign. He had 121 carries for 765 yards and 10 touchdowns. He also made the most of his opportunities as a receiver when targeted, hauling in 10 receptions for 141 yards. Outside of Week 9 where he suffered his season-ending injury, there was only one game in 2024 where he didn’t amass at least 70 yards or more on the ground.
This season, it’s been a bag of mixed results for the former four-star recruit. He had a monster three touchdown performance in the Aggies 41-40 victory in early September against the Fighting Irish and followed that up with a 139-yard rushing performance against the Auburn Tigers the next week. But in three other games, Moss has failed to top 70 yards. His Head Coach Mike Elko has openly discussed Moss having some stomach issues during...
