On Friday, the Denver Broncos signed running back Melvin Gordon to a two-year contract worth $16M, $13.5M guaranteed.
You may be wondering what this signing means for the other running backs on the roster. Well, for some, it will be of great help. For others, not so much.
Let’s break down the snap counts of last year’s running back group:
Phillip Lindsay: 513 (50.49 percent)
Royce Freeman: 506 (49.80 percent)
Devontae Booker: 26 (2.56 percent)
Let’s start with Lindsay. Honestly, I was shocked to see that Lindsay only played 50.
