The Denver Broncos have agreed to terms with former Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon on a two-year deal. Here’s a sampling of how Twitter reacted to the news:
So does this mean Gordon will save every one of us? All things considered in the world, we kinda need that right now https://t.co/t9cTLJWGtx

Trying to imagine Broncos offense week 1 w/ Drew Lock at QB, Melvin Gordon & Phillip Lindsay outta the backfield, Fant in year 2 at TE, Sutton on one side of the field w/ Ruggs/Juedy/Lamb on the other side. That’s a group I’d buy a ticket to see.

So maybe handing out grades 2 or 3 hours into free agency isn’t always fair. I don’t think the @broncos are done spending money, but they’ve acquired 3 guys who’ve played in the Pro Bowl, and 1 O-Lineman who’s played every game for the last 2 yrs! #BroncosCountry @KOAColorado

So now you have an undrafted stud (Lindsay) with a veteran free agent (Gordon). The two methods of finding RBs that have worked best for the Broncos. Expect a big year from this duo.

Gordon, 26, is a two-time Pro Bowler. Denver plans to have Gordon split touches with fellow Pro Bowl running back Phillip Lindsay.
