Third in a series previewing the Broncos
In seven of the last eight seasons, two Broncos running backs have had at least 100 rushing attempts. Look for that trend to continue this year.
When the players report to training camp on Wednesday, the expectation is offensive coordinator Rich Scangarello will choose the run-it-via-small-committee approach.
A third-round draft pick in 2018, Royce Freeman was overshadowed by undrafted running back Phillip Lindsay a year ago. Lindsay and Freeman had 192 and 130 attempts, respectively. The Broncos are hopeful the return of Lindsay from off-season wrist surgery and a step forward from Freeman will create a productive tandem.
