Devontae Booker is expected to be the Week 1 starter, but will have competition from third-round pick Royce Freeman.
With Denver Broncos training camp just a week away, Mike Klis of 9News has already determined which running back is going to win the starting job for Week 1 in Devontae Booker. It’s an obvious choice, since he is the long veteran at the position now.
Booker has good command of the offensive playbook and has become a competent pass protector, so he is expected to start September 9 in the season opener against Seattle. But he will be pushed by Freeman, a third-round selection with a 230-pound frame. Henderson has the edge for the No. 3 spot going into camp.
