For every Pro Bowl running back, there’s a wide receiver who cares about blocking.
Terrell Davis had two of them: Ed McCaffrey and Rod Smith. His Hall of Fame bust would not have existed without their efforts.
And if the current Broncos running game is to flourish, and Melvin Gordon prove himself worthy of his hefty price tag, then the Broncos need downfield blocking, too.
So who is going to do it? Not Courtland Sutton. He’s hurt. Not KJ Hamler. He’s also hurt. And, as much as we like rookie Jerry Jeudy, he isn’t exactly the bruising type.
