When the Denver Broncos drafted RJ Harvey out of UCF with their second-round selection, many were surprised at how high the former high school quarterback went.

Right off the bat, Harvey in Denver drew comparison to Darren Sproles during his time with Payton, which featured a 1300 scrimmage yard season that featured nine total scores.
