Report: Broncos thought RJ Harvey was the next best running back in the draft behind Ashton Jeanty

When the Broncos selected running back RJ Harvey in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft, many viewed it as a bit of a reach. There were other highly regarded backs available, it was a loaded running back class, and Harvey is an older rookie at 24 years old. However, a new report suggests the Broncos were very high on Harvey and even believed he was the next-best running back in this draft class behind Ashton Jeanty.
