Sean Payton has definitely infused this roster with talent in recent years, and his comments on the run game could be evidence of that as well. You could easily argue that the single-biggest factor that contributes to the Broncos' success in 2025 outside of Bo Nix is the run game.
The rushing attack could have taken the 2024 Denver Broncos into a different dimension, but they had a severe lack of talent in that room. Denver let Javonte Williams depart in free agency for virtually nothing, and he is somehow in line to start for the Dallas Cowboys.
