Broncos GM George Paton maneuvered their playing cards to secure UNC’s running back Javonte Williams, and he said last night that he’s “so excited” about it.
“This is something I worked my whole life for.”

Williams admitted that he didn’t expect to be drafted by the Broncos, especially since he didn’t talk to them a lot throughout the process, although Curtis Modkins (RB coach) attended his Pro Day.
