The Denver Broncos have secured running back J.K. Dobbins for two more seasons after his successful debut year with the team. Dobbins led Denver’s rushing attack with 772 yards and helped propel the franchise to the AFC championship game.
The Denver Broncos have secured their top ground game performer, announcing Tuesday that running back J.K. Dobbins will remain with the franchise under a two-year extension.
The agreement becomes official Wednesday when the NFL’s new league year commences.
The 27-year-old running back topped Denver’s rushing statistics in his debut season, accumulating 772 yards and four touchdowns across 153 carries while contributing 11 catches for 37 yards as the Broncos advanced to the AFC championship game.
Throughout his NFL career beginning in 2020 with Baltimore, Dobbins has maintained impressive efficiency metrics, ranking third among running backs with at least 500 carries in both rushing average at 5.2 yards per attempt and “big play” percentage at 14.7 percent for runs of 10 yards or more.
Across six NFL seasons spanning Baltimore (who drafted him in the second round in 2020), Los Angeles, and Denver, the former Ohio State standout has accumulated 3,024 rushing yards on 582 attempts with 25 touchdowns through 47 games and 30 starts. His receiving statistics include 70 catches for 367 yards and one score.
During his four playoff appearances, including one start, Dobbins has produced 173 rushing yards and one touchdown on 43 carries, while adding eight receptions for 88 yards and another score.
