Javonte Williams, Michael Carter part of NFL preseason's top five running back competitions

Posted Jun 7, 2021

It's not a given, but this is the player I feel could take over the backfield by season's end. The Denver Broncos traded up for Javonte Williams for a reason. He won't start off the 2021 season as the No. 1 back, but keep an eye on this situation. (CBS Sports)
