Broncos likely to draft running back Cam Skattebo

sportingnews.com

The Denver Broncos have not signed a running back during free agency this offseason. However, they are expected to look for one in the upcoming draft. Many fans hope that Ashton Jeanty might still be available, while some mock drafts suggest North Carolina's Omarion Hampton as a possibility. Chad Reuter from NFL.com predicts that the Broncos will select Arizona State running back Cam Skattebo in the fourth round. Skattebo made a name for himself last season, rushing for 1,711 yards and scoring 21 touchdowns. He also caught 45 passes for 605 yards and three touchdowns. Despite his impressive performance, many experts consider him a late-round prospect. Skattebo describes his playing style as physical and fast. He is 5-foot-11 and weighs 215 pounds, using his size to push through defenders. He is tough to tackle and can also be effective in the passing game. While he may not be a starting running back, he could be a valuable asset in a committee. The Broncos' running back situation may still appear thin to some fans, especially since they may trade their second-round pick for a tight end. However, the potential pairing of Skattebo and tight end Tyler Warren could bring new energy to the Broncos' offense.
