The Broncos and J.K. Dobbins are getting to know each other.
The veteran running back arrived in Denver on Wednesday night and had dinner with club officials, then was set to be in the building Thursday as the team wrapped up OTAs, head coach Sean Payton confirmed.
“We’ll have a chance to visit with him and then we’ll see where it goes,” Payton said.
Dobbins, 26, is a free agent after spending the 2024 season with the Los Angeles Chargers. He got off to a terrific start there, rushing for 266 yards and two touchdowns over the first two weeks of the season. He finished with 905 total rushing yards and nine touchdowns, added 32 catches and is considered a reliable pass-blocker. Dobbins didn’t carry the same level of explosion through the season — he averaged 3.8 yards after the opening two weeks — and missed four games late in the year due to an injury, but he’s considered one of a couple quality veteran backs still on the market. Among the others is former Cleveland back Nick Chubb.
