Until rookies like Bo Nix convert potential into production on the field, the general consensus will remain that the Denver Broncos are somewhat lacking in bona fide playmakers. Injury has greatly curtailed the trajectory of several of Denver’s playmakers, including running back Javonte Williams —so much so that Pro Football Focus didn’t even rank the 24-year-old on its list of the Top 32 players at the position in the league.
