The Denver Broncos made a pointed effort this spring to overhaul their running back room, and it has paid off handsomely. With the new duo of JK Dobbins and RJ Harvey, the Broncos finally have a running back duo that fits a Sean Payton offense. After a few years of disappointing running games, Payton is finally able to lean into his offensive identity.
When Dobbins signed with the Broncos this summer, it was initially almost an afterthought. The Broncos had already drafted a running back in the 2025 draft, in Dobbins had left the Broncos facility without a contract after his visit.
