The AFC West just got a bit more interesting on Friday with the news that one of its best running backs from the last few years is switching to play for a rival as the Denver Broncos are reportedly working on a deal with Melvin Gordon.
Gordon has spent the last few years making life difficult for AFC West defenses as part of the Los Angeles Chargers backfield. In tandem with Austin Ekeler, the Chargers typically had solid success running the ball and/or utilizing Gordon to help move the chains in some way or another.
Over the last five seasons with the Chargers, Gordon has put up 47 total touchdowns, 36 of which came on the ground.
