The Denver Broncos face an important offseason with opportunities to elevate their offense to one of the league’s best with a few key moves.
The primary goal for the Broncos is to build talent around quarterback Bo Nix. One key need is at running back, as Javonte Williams is heading to free agency.
The team can either draft a new starting running back or sign a veteran through free agency. While several options are available, they should focus on a player who brings strong athleticism and proven productivity.
One player the Broncos are projected to get through free agency is Najee Harris.
Harris has been one of the most overlooked players for the Pittsburgh Steelers over the last four seasons.
Even though he’s rushed for over 1,000 yards and been a dependable pass-catcher, Steelers fans have criticized Harris for his lack of speed and perceived underperformance.
These are the same Steelers fans who called for a more effective offensive line.
Harris has accumulated 4,312 rushing yards and 28 touchdowns over his career. Additionally, as a receiving threat out of the backfield, he has caught 180 passes for 1,149 yards and six touchdowns. He was also named a Pro Bowl selection in his rookie season.
A change of scenery, with better support and a more dependable offensive line, could benefit Harris by creating clearer running lanes. He is a running back who demonstrates patience, waiting for his offensive line to set up their blocks.
The Broncos could transform Harris into one of the most dynamic running backs in the league, thanks to his unique blend of speed, strength, athleticism, and receiving skills. He has the potential to be one of the most unexpected and impactful signings of the season.
