Melvin Gordon isn’t just going to ‘lay down’ in running back competition

Iron sharpens iron.

That was the motto of the guys in the locker room in 2015 when the Denver Broncos made their historic Super Bowl run. It’s the kind of mentality that drives players to compete against each other with the focus of getting better, not just winning jobs and securing position.

That is also the mentality running back Melvin Gordon showed when asked this week about the possibility of having to compete for playing time against second-year standout Javonte Williams.
