Devontae Booker took the handoff right into the heart of the opposing defensive line. He appeared stuck between a pulling guard and his other blockers. Jammed up with no place to go.
Nope.
Booker hopped left and hopped right — “Oh, how did he get out of there!” the ESPN play-by-play man exclaimed — as Booker glided up-field past another defender, tip-toed the sideline and dove over the pylon. A 40-yard touchdown. It’s that explosion which makes Booker such a valued member of the Broncos’ running back room. He’s listed atop the depth chart entering Friday’s preseason game at Washington.
