Broncos’ rookie standouts in ‘21 looking for big sophomore campaigns in ‘22

In a losing season it can be hard to remember that there were some standout performers.

Like Patrick Surtain II and Javonte Williams - Broncos’ first- and second-round picks in 2021 - who both had impressive rookie seasons despite the 7-10 team record.

Williams, the second-round pick out of North Carolina, rushed for 903 yards last season, 460 of which were earned after contact. Operating as essentially RB1b, Williams also added 316 receiving yards and scored seven touchdowns between rushing and receiving.
