Broncos Want Javonte Williams To Be The Guy

Heading into the 2022 season under new coach Nathaniel Hackett, Gordon admitted the staff is leaning toward Williams getting a bigger role in his second year. “I think they have a plan of where they want to go, but as far as the rotation, I really don’t know,” Gordon said Wednesday, according to the team minutes. “I think they want ‘Vonte’ to be the guy, but we’re rotating. He’s going to get the first line and then the second line with [No. 1 offense], I will take. Sometimes we change, but you know how it is. I don’t know how they will do the rotation. I have to go back and see how they did things in Green Bay with the coupons and stuff like that. My mom says just come out here and compete and I go as hard as I can. I don’t know what the future holds other than that, but I just want to do my best so that when I do it out there, they’re like, ‘OK, we’ve got to get him out there more.’ I know I have the game. I know I can play and I still have the juice, but we’ll see.” (That roar you heard was the sound of those who drafted Williams in Fantasy Football screaming with joy.) Last season, Williams proved he could be an elite tackle-breaker, with the strength to tear past defenders without losing speed in space. Denver was willing to let Gordon hit free agency, but the 29-year-old back returned with a one-year contract worth just $2.5 million. Hackett mostly let talent dictate the touches in three seasons as the Packers’ offensive coordinator, but he always used multiple backs. In 2019, Aaron Jones was the clear No. 1 (236 carries), with Jamaal Williams getting 107 snaps. In 2020, with Jones missing two games, Williams took on a bigger role, sharing 119 to Jones’ 201. Last season, AJ Dillon led the Packers in career rushing yards, with 187 in 17 games with 34 catches, while Jones carried 171 times in 15 games with 52 catches. Our bet — given Gordon’s contract and Williams’ talent — is that it’s closer to how Hackett handled 2020 in Green Bay than he did last season, assuming both stay healthy. Despite expecting to see fewer carries than his young, exciting counterpart, Gordon prepares for every role and will do whatever it takes to win. “Just be consistent,” Gordon said. “Be consistent. You never know how the future is going to play out with anything, but you just have to go out there and hit the ball. You have to make every opportunity count, whether it’s the same or less than last year. I know when you get in there, you have to I’m making it count and that’s all that matters. I’ve got to do whatever it takes — ‘Hack’ told me to come in, this is the Super Bowl. It’s to win the Super Bowl and I’ll do whatever it takes better for the team. I’m 100 percent bought in because I want the ring more than anything. I feel like I can help this team, so when I come in, I have to show it.”
