While Phillip Lindsay had a good night with two carries for seven yards and three receptions for 40 yards and a touchdown, it was Royce Freeman who had the most impressive night of the Denver Broncos 2018 rookie class during their first preseason game.

This touchdown run was a thing of beauty. He finished the night with four carries for 38 yards and 1 touchdown in limited work against the Minnesota Vikings.
Other rookie performances of note beyond those two running backs:
- Josey Jewell - 5 tackles (3 solo)
- Jeff Holland - 1 tackle (solo - TFL), 1 sack, 1 QB hit
