RJ Harvey: AFC Rookie of the Year, Broncos' Backfield Star

On March 22nd, Denver Broncos running back RJ Harvey just earned a big honor as the AFC

rookie of the year from the Panini Senior Bowl for his, stand out play in the 2025 season.

Harvey backed up JK Dobbins early on, but stepped up as the main guy after Dobbins got hurt

late against the Las Vegas Raiders.

He topped all NFL rookies and led the Broncos with 12 touchdowns from Scrimmage Plus 896

helping push Denver to the AFC championship.

Coming out of UCF, Harvey started as a high school quarterback recruit before switching to running back.

At the 2025 Senior Bowl, he even flashes arm by throwing a touchdown pass.

Now with Dobbins resigned and wide receiver Jalen Waddle joining the offense,

Harvey has a strong setup to keep growing in the backfield.

As the league shifts focus to the next rookie class heading into 2026,

Harvey's rookie success keeps making ways for the Broncos.
