Russell Wilson was grandly welcomed by the Denver Broncos. Alas, the first year could easily be deemed a failure. But they are still on path to a bright future, with the inclusion of the Super Bowl winning coach, Sean Payton. And first and foremost, he’s gonna solve all the issues.

Clearly, Broncos have a weakness at the running back position. In the 2023 NFL draft, they did not select a running back. However, they may still address this need during the off-season due to uncertainty surrounding Javonte Williams’ knee injury. On SportsCenter, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN highlighted the Broncos as a noteworthy team to monitor in the hunt for a free-agent running back.

Kareem Hunt: End of career or logical landing spot?

Amidst speculation of Kareem Hunt’s career decline, the Broncos emerge as a sensible destination. This is because Lou Ayeni, the Broncos’ new running backs coach, has a connection to Hunt from their time at Toledo, where Ayeni recruited and coached him in 2013.

A greater responsibility might be sought by Kareem Hunt, who is presently an unrestricted free agent at the age of 27. However, Fowler mentioned that a return to the Cleveland Browns is still a possibility for Hunt. Following his stint with the Kansas City Chiefs, he joined the Browns for the past four seasons.

Hunt’s stats last season: 123 carries, 468 rushing yards, averaging 3.8 yards per carry. He also had 35 catches for 210 yards and four total touchdowns. Despite not putting up elite numbers, Hunt proved to be a reliable and durable player, appearing in every game for the third season of his career.
