1. C.J. Anderson
C.J. Anderson was awesome last year. He checked every box you’d want in a running back: heart, toughness, elusiveness, speed. And when he avoided half of the Colts defense to convert on a fourth-and-one in the playoffs, he had me in the palm of my hand.
He was the future of the Broncos backfield.
And now, I hope he doesn’t get another snap this season.
I’m not sure what happened. Maybe it’s the offensive line; maybe he got a little too confident and coasted through the offseason. All I know is that he has been entirely ineffective, and I’d much rather see Ronnie Hillman, Juwan Thompson or even Kapri Bibbs get carries over him.
If this truly is the end of C.J. Anderson as the Broncos’ No. 1 tailback, he’ll end up going down in Broncos history as one of the biggest what-ever-happened-to-that-guy players.
