Since the former University of Wisconsin standout Montee Ball joined the Denver Broncos in 2013, he has failed to make any sort of significant impact on the field. As a rookie, he played second fiddle to Knowshon Moreno and didn’t see much consistent playing time. The following season a laundry list of injuries allowed him to only appear in five games and forced him to end his season on the injured reserve.
In that span, his backfield contemporary CJ Anderson established himself as the undisputed top back in the Denver and his other running mate, Ronnie Hillman, proved he was just as competent.
