The Denver Broncos announced on Mar. 10 that they have re-signed running back J.K. Dobbins to a two-year contract.
Dobbins’ return is significant for the Broncos, as he proved to be a key contributor in his first season with the team. He rushed for 772 yards and four touchdowns over just 10 games, averaging 77.2 rushing yards per game, which ranked sixth among all NFL players at the time. Through Week 10, he was fourth in the league in rushing yards.
Dobbins achieved several milestones during his initial year in Denver. He became the first Broncos rusher since Mike Anderson in 2005 to surpass 750 rushing yards within the first ten games of a season. Additionally, he was the first player since 2022 on the team to rush for at least 100 yards in a single game and to record multiple games with over 100 rushing yards in one season.
Before joining Denver, Dobbins played one season with Los Angeles, where he ran for 905 yards and nine touchdowns. Originally drafted by the Ravens in the second round of the 2020 draft, Dobbins spent four years with Baltimore before moving on to other teams.
Throughout his career, Dobbins has averaged an impressive 5.2 yards per carry and maintained a strong average of five yards per attempt during his debut season with Denver.
The Broncos also recently announced new contracts for inside linebackers Alex Singleton and Justin Strnad, tight ends Adam Trautman and Nate Adkins, as well as offensive lineman Alex Palczewski.
