As Denver Broncos training camp approaches, we’re taking a look at some roster battles and a really intriguing projection from ESPN Broncos writer Jeff Legwold.
Legwold recently predicted the Broncos’ 53-man roster, which featured some really disappointing cuts due to the depth of the team’s roster. Perhaps most disappointing was his projected cut of running back Ronnie Hillman, a third round pick in John Elway’s 2012 draft class.
Hillman was selected out of San Diego State as sort of a change of pace back, one with breakaway speed. We’ve yet to see that come to full fruition in his Broncos career, as Hillman has struggled both with fumbling and injuries, but it seemed as though he may have turned a corner last year.
