The Denver Broncos are looking to strengthen their running back position in the upcoming 2026 NFL draft, despite J.K. Dobbins' recent re-signing. The team is expected to target additional running backs with their first three picks.
As the Denver Broncos approach the 2026 NFL draft, running back ranks among the team's biggest roster needs, despite J.K. Dobbins re-signing on a two-year deal last month.
Dobbins is yet to play through a full season in his career, and Denver's rushing attack suffered after Dobbins went down with a foot injury last fall. RJ Harvey was a dynamic complement to Dobbins in coach Sean Payton's offense, but Harvey has not proved to be a reliable workhorse back when Dobbins is not available.
So, expect the Broncos to add another running back during this week's NFL draft. Today, we're taking a quick look at five running backs who could be available at one of Denver's first three picks (Nos. 62, 108 and 111).
1. Notre Dame RB Jadarian Price (5-10, 203 pounds): Price probably won't be on the board when Denver picks at No. 62, but a few recent mock drafts have predicted he will be. Price is a dynamic player who offers value as a runner, receiver and returner.
2. Arkansas RB (6-1, 223 pounds): impressed at the NFL combine, running a 40-yard dash in 4.33 seconds. He rushed for 1,070 yards and eight touchdowns in the SEC last fall.

3. Washington RB Jonah Coleman (5-8, 220 pounds): Coleman might be an ideal upgrade over Tyler Badie as RB3 because he's a skilled pass blocker who offers more than Badie as a runner and as a receiver out of the backfield. Coleman scored 17 touchdowns in 2025.
4. Nebraska RB Emmett Johnson (5-10, 202 pounds): Johnson had a productive senior season, rushing for 1,451 yards and 12 touchdowns while adding 370 receiving yards and three more scores as a receiver out of the backfield last fall.
5. Penn State RB Nicholas Singleton (6-0, 219 pounds): Singleton can get it done as a runner, receiver and returner, setting a Nittany Lions record with 5,586 all-purpose yards and 55 total touchdowns in four seasons.
