The Broncos haven’t had a 1,000-yard rusher in the 2020s. Do you think that’ll change this year?

— Mike, Denver

Hey Mike, thanks for writing in and getting us going this week. Good question, and from this stage at the outset of training camp, it’s pretty difficult to guess.

While the Broncos do have a 1,000-yard rusher drought, there’s not a ton of difference between Phillip Lindsay’s 1,011 in 2019 and Melvin Gordon’s 986 in 2020.
