ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams continues his beat-the-clock return from the knee injury that finished his 2022 season after four games. While doing so he has accumulated quite the checklist of reasons why he has made it this far this fast.
There are numerous appeals to a higher power, the hundreds of back squats and three of his teammates fighting the same injury battle to keep him focused, his parents, his largely unshakable belief he can do this and his willingness to dive into the daily grind.
“It was hard at first … but each week my confidence got bigger and bigger,’’ Williams said.
