Broncos' Rookie RB Javonte Williams 'Didn't Disappoint' in Preseason Debut

Posted Aug 15, 2021
Javonte Williams, the Denver Broncos' second-round pick, admitted to some pre-game butterflies, but he could have fooled quarterback Drew Lock, who marveled at the rookie's "calmness." "It was a little nerve-racking but he’s a tough kid," Lock said post-game. Williams' ability to run hard with physicality and break tackles was on full display Saturday. (Mile High Huddle)
