ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Who will carry the ball for the Denver Broncos? The answer to one of the biggest topics of conversation, in and around the team, resides within 48-year-old running backs coach Curtis Modkins.
A publicly mild-mannered sort, Modkins will have a significant vote in how many carries Phillip Lindsay, Royce Freeman, Devontae Booker or perhaps, even, a back to named later -- the Broncos had seventh-year veteran Theo Riddick in for a visit this week -- will have on game days.
It's something everyone from fantasy football aficionados to the most passionate of Broncos faithful and even the running backs themselves want to know.
