Running back is a clear need for the Denver Broncos.

How Sean Payton and George Paton decide to address that is less clear.

With a deep running back class in the NFL Draft, does it make sense to pay for a veteran?

If the price is right and the production is a guarantee (or close), then it might be. And Dowdle could provide both.

Rico Dowdle — Running Back

Age: 26 | Experience: Fifth | Height: 6’0” | Weight: 215 pounds

Signing as an undrafted free agent to the Dallas Cowboys in 2020, Dowdle didn’t light the world on fire in his first four years in the NFL, due in part to a hip injury in 2021 that kept him out for his entire sophomore campaign.
