Each season from 2012-16, two Broncos running backs had at least 100 carries.
Coach Vance Joseph wants a return to that divided workload.
“We want two or three guys to be our main core backs,” Joseph said during minicamp last month.
But which two or three guys?
The Broncos have five tailbacks — Devontae Booker, De’Angelo Henderson, Royce Freeman, David Williams and Phillip Lindsay — likely competing for four spots. Andy Janovich is the only fullback on the roster.
Teams have differing philosophies at the tailback position: Workhorse or by committee.
