Running Back Rank: #47
Overall: #150
Buckhalter had a career-high 26 receptions last season and ran for 369 yards, giving him more than 300-rushing yards in every full season of his career. Buckhalter is an explosive back. He is a solid receiver and has great speed, which gives him a shot to break a huge play every time he touches the ball. Buckhalter probably isn't durable enough to be an every-down back, though, but will battle for a starter's job in Denver. He is likely to be the top backup to rookie Knowshon Moreno.

Remember, the Broncos are going to be running a similar offense to the Patriots the last few seasons so the running back spot could be a mess some weeks. Buckhalter should see a spike in production, but you probably shouldn't count on him to be anything more than a No. 3 back or flex option, playing second fiddle to Moreno. |

| Denver Broncos head coach Josh McDaniels said RB Correll Buckhalter is like the rest of the team's backs in regards to having a lot of versatility. 'He can, certainly, run the ball. He has got a great, great burst,' McDaniels said. '(He) may be our fastest back.' McDaniels added Buckhalter is very good in pass protection and can catch the ball well out of the backfield. |

| Lindsay H. Jones, of The Denver Post, reports Denver Broncos head coach Josh McDaniels said the team targeted RB Correll Buckhalter during the offseason because he can be a multidimensional player for the team. He can succeed in a role as a traditional running back and also help in the passing game as a blocker or a receiving back. 'His body is young,' McDaniels said. 'He just might be, as a matter of fact, I think he is, our fastest back. He's got a great burst and he's got a great long speed,' McDaniels said. |
