The Bronco veteran wide receiver returned to the fold today as his awkward off-season dance with management continues.
DENVER — Between the Bo Nix Watch and knee injury to rookie Audric Estime’, attention to the Denver Broncos’ running back competition was somewhat shaded during the
When McLaughlin wasn’t taking the day’s first handoff and using his speed to burst through the right side, he was catching passes and returning kickoffs. A “Joker” type running back is what McLaughlin can become. He handled the role in a limited amount last year as an undrafted rookie who made the 53-man roster and played in all 17 games.
Small, maybe, but also strong. McLaughlin had 107 touches last season – 76 rushing attempts and 31 catches – and did not fumble once. Almost every day, McLaughlin and newcomer veteran safety Brandon Jones are the first players to arrive at the Broncos’ practice facility to get a workout in. McLaughlin started this habit as a rookie last year. First one in. Last one out. “I start off with my ladder and footwork drills outside on the turf,’’ he said. “Then I go in, I work on my hip mobility. Do a little bit of running. And that’s what I’m doing day by day.
Such a scenario would leave returning veterans Javonte Williams, Samaje Perine, Tyler Badie and rookie Blake Watson competing for the other spot. A spot that could be anywhere from the No. 1-lead role to third-down role to Joker role , depending on how Payton decides to assemble his three-man position.Denver Broncos running back Jaleel McLaughlin takes part in drills during NFL football practice at the team's headquarters Tuesday, June 4, 2024.
