Roster Battles: Making The Case For Kapri Bibbs - Predominantly Orange
With the Denver Broncos focusing more on the running game, it makes sense as to give Kapri Bibbs an equal chance to make the roster. He also has quite the skill set, most notably his speed and his ability to make cuts to get to the opening on the field. Any time a player has a chance to score whenever he touches the ball because of those abilities is always a force on the offensive side of the ball.
