Pros

Price has a wide range of projections, with some having him in the first round and others in the fourth. He is an explosive runner who offers good returner capabilities on special teams and could benefit from the current NFL kickoff rules. 

There aren’t many miles on Price’s tires due to being stuck behind Jeremiyah Love at Notre Dame, but he made the most of his 8.7 offensive touches per game. Price is a smooth mover who makes clean, crisp cuts, which, paired with good vision, lead to explosive runs. 

Price’s acceleration is great, and he reaches top speed in an instant, which helps with how quickly he is on his cuts. He runs loose and free and doesn’t seem to feel the pressure of the moment, and takes what defenses are giving him. 

Cons

Is there much to work with as a receiver? The blocking is nonexistent, which raises serious questions about Price’s ability to be a third-down back. Right now, he projects as a two-down runner only until he can prove the receiving and blocking ability. 

Ball security is another question, with a fumble on every 40 touches in 2025, but the bigger issue is how the fumbles came about. Price put two on the ground in the goalline, and it comes from carrying the ball loose and free, giving defenders a large target to punch at. 

There are limitations to Price’s power as a runner, and he can struggle to churn his legs through contact or even to break free from some bad tackle attempts. There are few backs to make it in the NFL who averaged under 10 touches per game, and there has only been one drafted since 2010 in the top 100. 

Fit With the Broncos

There are many similarities between Harvey and Price when Harvey was coming into the NFL. What did they have to offer on third down?

Harvey proved he can catch and showed improvements as a blocker. Can Price do the same? The biggest difference is the special-teams value, which should keep Price as an option for the Broncos.

I have Price ranked as my No. 1 slasher back.
