        Broncos Find New RB in RJ Harvey

        The Broncos selected UCF RB RJ Harvey in Round 2 of the 2025 NFL Draft. An ACL tear threatened his football career in 2021, but Harvey’s perseverance paid off. Over the past three seasons, he’s totaled 3,789 rushing yards, 720 receiving yards, and 47 total TDs. Though he is under 5’8, Harvey’s home run ability, combined with soft hands and explosion, makes him an intriguing RB at the pro level. His NFL Combine performance only confirmed his dynamic skill set. The UCF notched a 91st percentile broad jump, an 85th percentile vertical, and a 92nd percentile forty-yard dash. Harvey has also been mentioned as an RB favorite of top draft analysts like NFL Media’s Daniel Jeremiah and The Athletic’s Dane Brugler.

        Entering the night, Denver’s RB depth included Audric Estime, Jaleel McLaughlin, Tyler Badie, and Blake Watson. So Harvey enters an excellent spot to contribute in 2025.

        He’ll run behind an O-line that ranked 11th in PFF’s run blocking grades in 2024. And you have to be encouraged by the fit with HC Sean Payton and QB Bo Nix.

        Dynasty Impact

        Harvey is on the old side for a rookie (24). But here's the good news: Following a 2021 ACL tear, he's largely proven durable.

        Denver probably won't turn him into a workhorse, but Harvey's explosive traits could make him an efficient back in time.
