Agreeing to the Denver Gazette’s Chris Tomasson, the Denver Broncos are said to be interested by Louisville running back Isaac Guerendo on day 3 of the NFL Draft or as a need free operator after the draft.
The 6-0, 221-pound running back out of Louisville has had himself an awfully great Combine in this way distant. He ran a blasting 4.33 40-time and had a 41.5-inch vertical all at 221 pounds. That’s beautiful noteworthy additionally grandstands his speed and blast. To put his execution into point of view, the as it were other backs to reach the 24 mph check at the Combine the past two a long time were Dolphins running back De’Von Achane and Ravens running back Keaton Mitchell. Both rookie coats had enormous impacts on their groups this past year so perhaps Guerendo can do the same
This past year, the Wisconsin exchange had a strong year for Louisville. He carried the ball 132 times for 810 yards (6.1 yards per carry) and had 11 surging touchdowns. He moreover had 22 gatherings for 234 yards for Louisville as well.
As Tomasson notes, Guerendo is seen as a late-day 3/priority free operator alternative in April’s NFL Draft, but these testing numbers likely will offer assistance his chances of being drafted. A 221-pound back running within the 4.3’s and as it were has restricted wear and tear on his knees isn’t simple to discover so I think he finds himself being drafted at a few point on day 3.
As for the Broncos’ detailed intrigued, it makes sense. I am likely harder on the Broncos backfield than most, but I was disillusioned within the run amusement final year. Javonte Williams, who was coming off a major knee harm, was an normal to below-average running back final year. He found the middle value of 3.6 yards per carry and as it were found the conclusion zone 3 times. He has however to best 1,000 yards in a season amid his career and is presently entering the ultimate year of his rookie contract. Ingenious Samaje Perine may or may not be back and did more as a recipient than a runner final season and whereas Jaleel McLaughlin had an amazing rookie year, his 5-7, 187-pound measure will constrain his by and large part on offense. So, a beneficial back with measure AND speed would be a welcome expansion to the Broncos backfield.
Furthermore, the group shows up to be heading to having a bridge quarterback and a rookie quarterback doing combating for the beginning work, so having a solid run amusement would be advantageous for the group.
In the event that the Broncos can utilize a mid to late-day 3 choice on a back like Guerendo, I would be all for it. The group needs playmakers at all positions so I would be captivated by an expansion like this amid the late stages of the draft.
