Broncos Select RJ Harvey After Trading Down Twice

The Denver Broncos selected Central Florida running back RJ Harvey with the No. 60 overall pick in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft after trading down twice. Harvey, known for his quickness and elusiveness, rushed for over 1,500 yards and 22 touchdowns last season, and has demonstrated receiving ability out of the backfield. Originally a quarterback at Virginia, Harvey transitioned successfully to running back at UCF and overcame an ACL injury to become a key offensive threat. The Broncos' decision came after missing out on other top running back prospects earlier in the draft, opting for Harvey's versatile skillset to fit Sean Payton's offense. The pick was well received, earning high praise from analysts who highlighted Harvey's potential as an electric playmaker in Denver's backfield. The team also used their third-round pick to select wide receiver Pat Bryant from Illinois.
