Heading into the 2020 season, the running back position appeared to be one of the great positions of strength on the Denver Broncos‘ roster.

Heading into 2021? Not quite so much.

The Broncos entered 2020 with the presumed 1-2 punch of Melvin Gordon and Phillip Lindsay, two former Pro Bowl running backs who have obviously complementary if not bordering on conflicting skill sets.

Gordon is a big, bruising back who can play on all three downs effectively. Lindsay is a smaller back with explosive, home run type speed.
