The Broncos’ run game has been a foundational part of their offensive identity since Mike Munchak was hired before the 2019 season. For years now we’ve watched Dalton Risner pull out of his left guard spot to lead the running back into the second level. Believe it or not, the Broncos had one of the more diverse running games in the league in 2020: according to Sports Info Solutions’ charting 43% of all run plays utilized gap blocking, good for 5th most in the NFL. With the addition of rookies Quinn Meinerz and Javonte Williams, there’s reason to believe Denver will only look to incorporate more gap blocking going forward.
