The Denver Broncos are a team with the quite the history of running the football and they selected a back capable of adding to that legacy on Saturday.
Notre Dame running back Audric Estime was selected by the Broncos in the fifth-round of the 2024 NFL draft, going No. 147 overall.
Estime ran for the fifth-most yards in a single-season in Notre Dame history last year when he went for 1,341. His 29 career rushing touchdowns in blue and gold also rank him tied for seventh most in program history despite playing just three seasons.
Estime chose not to play in Notre Dame’s Sun Bowl win over Oregon State this year, making his final game against Stanford perhaps his finest as he went for 238-rushing yards along with four touchdowns.
Broncos fans don’t get confused by the pictures. Yes, Estime is a beast in terms of strength but has a lot more versatility as a running back than just picking up short yardage.
