Broncos Sign $9 Million Super Bowl Champion in Free Agency

It is the fourth-highest mark of his career. But with 42 career carries for 79 yards and 3 TDs, he should not be expected to elevate the ground attack in that way.

Terms of Burton’s new deal have not been disclosed, but he has earned $9 million in his career.

Potential Broncos Draft Target Turns Heads After Meeting: ‘Literal Tank’

The Broncos have met with many of the prospects at the draft combine and the weeks that have followed. One of those prospects, Ohio State’s Quinshon Judkins, recently turned heads with his physique.

“I’m sorry I didn’t know RB Quinshon Judkins was built like a literal tank,” Blogging The Boys’ Brandon Loree posted on X, sharing a clip of the former Buckeyes star training.

Judkins rushed for 1,060 yards and 14 touchdowns on 194 carries in 2024.

Those are all career lows as he shared the backfield with TreVeyon Henderson. In two seasons at Ole Miss, Judkins posted a 545-2,725-31 line as a runner. He did post a career-high 161 yards on 22 receptions. He also has a 59-442-5 line through the air for his career.

“Judkins is a productive runner possessing good size and great contact aggression. His running style is both urgent and a bit chaotic. He runs with good burst inside but is more collision-based than wiggle-oriented when maneuvering through the lane. He’s efficient on runs outside the tackle box, but he has a tough time outracing pursuit to create explosive runs,” NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein wrote in his pre-draft profile.

“Judkins might need to be paired with a slasher, but he has the ingredients needed to become a three-down RB1.”
