Knowshon Wants To Play For The Broncos
Knowshon Moreno has the dubious honor of being the first draft choice of the Josh McDaniels ear. The Denver Broncos selected him with the No. 12 pick in the first round of the 2009 NFL Draft.
From 2009 through 2013, Moreno appeared in 60 games for the Broncos. He produced 4,869 total yards and 45 touchdowns over those five years, and played a pivotal role in the Broncos record-setting offensive explosion in 2013. A not-so-dubious distinction.
Moreno tallied 1,586 total yards and 13 total scores in his final year with the Broncos. Although it was the only 1,000-yard rushing season of his career, Moreno averaged almost 1,000 yards from scrimmage during his career in Denver (973.8).
