Las Vegas Raiders: 3 new Denver Broncos to worry about in 2021
By Brad Weiss
The Las Vegas Raiders swept the Denver Broncos this past season, but with a revamped roster, the Broncos are going to be a much tougher draw in 2021.
Last season, the Las Vegas Raiders were able to come away with the season-sweep of the Denver Broncos, beating them early on inside Allegiant Stadium, and then capping off their season with a one-point win in Mile High. However, this year, the Broncos could be a much tougher draw for the Raiders, as the roster is much better than it was a year ago.
With that said, let us take a look at three new faces to worry about this season.
Las Vegas Raiders: 3 new Denver Broncos to worry about in 2021
No. 3: Javonte Williams, Running Back
The Denver Broncos offense has a lot of playmakers, and they added to that group during the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft. By selecting North Carolina running back Javonte Williams, the Broncos now have a two-headed monster at the position, with Melvin Gordon returning for another go-around in Denver.
The addition of Williams is a big one, as he is an explosive back with a nose for the end zone, and brings a different skill set than Gordon. He is also used to playing in a two-back rotation, as he and Michael Carter dominated ACC defenses together for the Tar Heels last season.
With so much talent on the outside, and now Williams joining the backfield, this could be a dangerous Broncos offense before all is said and done.
