In the 2024 season, the Denver Broncos' rushing offense ranked 16th in the league, accumulating 1,908 yards. The running back corps, primarily a three-man committee, yielded 1,415 of those yards. Javonte Williams topped the team's rushing stats with 513 yards, while Jaleel McLaughlin and Audric Estime contributed 496 and 310 yards, respectively. However, with Williams moving to the Dallas Cowboys in free agency, the Broncos find themselves needing a new lead back who can take charge of the rushing responsibilities.

The absence of Williams creates an opportunity for McLaughlin and Estime to step up. The Broncos may also explore the free agency market or rely on their 2024 draft picks to bolster their backfield. With the right addition, the Broncos aim to improve their rushing stats and maintain a competitive edge in the upcoming season.
