ESPN.com's Bill Williamson suspects that Denver Broncos RBs Montee Ball and Ronnie Hillman will receive some primary carries this year as the team looks to move away from older RBs Willis McGahee and Knowshon Moreno. Hillman is more of a third-down change-of-pace back, and the Broncos like the way Ball runs, his durability and that he can also catch the ball out of the backfield. | ||

The Denver Broncos have big plans for RB Ronnie Hillman in their offense; however, for him to fulfill his potential, Hillman needs another offseason in an NFL strength program. He also needs to attack the line of scrimmage harder and understand where the hole is. At this point in his career, Hillman should be the back in the team's three-wide receiver sets, but he had to play more on early downs after RB Willis McGahee (knee) was injured. Hillman played 18 percent of the team's offensive snaps this past season. | ||

| Broncos | Have depth at RB | 1.7.2013 3:47:08 PM EST |
The Denver Broncos have employed a next-man-up attitude at running back this year after RB Willis McGahee (knee) went down, and the team has been successful with RB Knowshon Moreno in his absence. Their 114.5 yards rushing per game ranks seventh in the league. RB Ronnie Hillman fumbled early in the team's Week 17 game and was benched for the rest of the game in favor of RBs Lance Ball and Jacob Hester. Denver still managed to run for 172 yards against the Kansas City Chiefs in that contest. 'If you want to say one thing that's great about this team, it's that nobody's selfish,' Ball said. 'That's what you need to have a championship team.' | ||
| Broncos | Ronnie Hillman still learning | 11.26.2012 6:40:02 PM EST |
Denver Broncos head coach John Fox said rookie RB Ronnie Hillman has plenty to learn in the league, including pass protection. 'If (not trusting him in pass protection) were the case, Ronnie Hillman wouldn't be on our team. We have great confidence in Ronnie. He's a young player that's learning, like all rookies in their rookie season in the National Football League. He's working hard to continue to grow and we're very pleased with Ronnie Hillman,' Fox said. Fox also said Hillman will get better with more repetitions. | ||
