The crowd that wanted the Broncos to make Javonte Williams not only the starting running back but the nearly-every-down option got their wish one time last year.
Minus Melvin Gordon (hip injury), Williams started and played 60 of 77 snaps in the Week 13 loss at Kansas City, carrying 23 times for 102 yards and catching six passes for 76 yards and one touchdown.
By season’s end, Williams and Gordon had carried 203 times apiece, tied for 15th in the NFL.
Now with Nathaniel Hackett installed as the new coach/offensive play-caller, will the work-share plan of 2021 continue or will the Broncos lean on Williams like Tennessee and Indianapolis rely on Derrick Henry and Jonathan Taylor, respectively?
