Throughout the offseason, we’ll be profiling players who may end up in Denver when all is said and done with NFL Free Agency. The Broncos clearly have plenty of holes to fill before they get back to Super-Bowl form and we’ll be examining a long list of players they may choose to help the franchise do just that.

A well-known name here in the Mile High City after a career-high three touchdown performance against the Broncos Week 9 is Oakland Raiders running back Latavius Murray. Murray is hitting the unrestricted free-agent market and could bolster a Broncos Running attack that ranked 28th last season.

Murray, now in his fourth year in the National Football League, seems to be a rising star at the running back position and with $33 million in cap space, John Elway might want to jump on the Murray bandwagon sooner rather than later.

Here is what we can expect from Murray if he were to don the Orange & Blue.

Strengths

No. 28 is a solid up-and-down runner who has the ability to find and exploit holes made by his offensive line with ease. Murray also has proved his durability, missing just three games throughout his career.

With former offensive coordinator Mike McCoy returning to the Mile High City, Murray, along with a healthy C.J. Anderson, Denver would certainly help the Broncos hopes of a repeat of the 2011 season, when Denver led the league in rushing with McCoy leading the offense.

Weaknesses

Heading into 2016, Murray’s biggest weakness may have been his pass protection, but throughout the season he showed he made big strides in that area. Oakland head coach Jack Del Rio also noted that he improved his football IQ in 2016, which had previously been a problem. Murray could still improve in both of those areas, but he showed enough in both to have been the starter for Oakland this year.

How he fits in Denver

Murray would fit in well with the Broncos running back corps, complimenting a talented group while also becoming the most physically impressive member of the backs. At 6-foot-3, 230 pounds, Murray is a freak on the physical side of things and would bring a different dimension to the Broncos rushing attack. Of course, whenever you look to acquire any free-agent talent in the NFL, it is always helpful to also hinder the competition. Not only would the Broncos be adding talent to their backfield, but they’d also be taking it directly out of the hands of the rival Raiders.
