Denver Broncos Week 8 Rookie Report

RONNIE HILLMAN - Ronnie Hillman has been the man that everyone wants to see. We have heard tall tales of his blazing speed and we finally got to see it on Sunday night. Hillman pounded away with minimal gains until he broke one large one for 31 yards down the sideline. He had 14 carries for 81 yards.

DEREK WOLFE - Derek Wolfe had 2 tackles in the Broncos win. Wolfe played 92% of the snaps and in total, 52.

AROUND THE LEAGUE

CHANDLER JONES - Chandler Jones had a nice week against the Rams in London. He had a sack, two tackles and 3 hurries.

TRENT RICHARDSON - He had 122 yards and one touchdown against the Chargers. He scored the only touchdown in the game helping defeat the Chargers 7-6.

RUSSELL WILSON - Russell Wilson had 25 completions in 35 attempts for 236 yards, 2 touchdowns and 1 INT in a loss to the Lions

I am really impressed with Danny Trevathan. He has been pretty strong in pass coverage for the Broncos. I think Ronnie Hillman is now getting the appropriate amount of reps that he should be and is a nice change up from Willis McGahee. I like what I see so far. Derek Wolfe has been very strong as well again giving us that very needed pass rush up the middle.

Go Broncos!
