Ronnie Hillman on the outside looking in for Broncos

Denver Broncos running back Ronnie Hillman admitted he is behind "the eight ball" in the Broncos’ running back competition.

What It Means:

With C.J. Anderson locked in as the starter and fourth-round rookie Devontae Booker guaranteed a roster spot, Hillman needs to beat out short-yardage back Juwan Thompson and special teamer Kapri Bibbs for a roster spot. Hillman is facing an uphill climb, due to a limited, offense-only skillset.

Hillman is still a top-50 back until we see otherwise. Our algorithms project him for 168 rushes for 651 yards and 3.81 touchdowns, as well as 23 receptions for 138 yards this upcoming season.
