The Denver Broncos drafted Devontae Booker in the fourth round of the 2016 NFL Draft to compete with CJ Anderson and at the time Ronnie Hillman. Booker played himself into the backup role immediately in Training Camp and now seems to have earned more carries.
Anderson continues to reel a little bit since the first game facing the Carolina Panthers. In that game he played his best game as a Bronco, with both catches and yards gained on the ground. That seems to go awry and now the team may turn to Booker, who is the hot hand out of the backfield.
