Jaleel McLaughlin May Be Counted On Early
1 year agoDenver Broncos undrafted rookie running back Jaleel McLaughlin could be counted on heavily early on in his first NFL season. McLaughlin did nothing but impress the coaching staff and teammates with his play in training camp and the preseason, which has put him in a position to contribute right away in Denver's backfield in 2023. Javonte Williams (knee) and Samaje Perine are at the top of the RB depth chart, but head coach Sean Payton has never shied away from using several backs or finding ways to get the ball to his playmakers. McLaughlin brings an element of speed and quickness that Denver doesn't have on offense. He could also end up being the top kick returner. The 22-year-old won't go drafted in standard-sized fantasy leagues, but he's a name to keep an eye on early in 2023.
