Broncos RB Melvin Gordon on Javonte Williams: 'We try to outdo each other with everything'

July 4, 2022 by Broncos Wire

The 1-2 punch of Melvin Gordon and Javonte Williams was renewed for a second season days before this year’s NFL draft in April.

It’s a tandem that totaled 900-plus rushing yards each in 2021. Gordon totaled 203 carries for 918 yards and eight touchdowns. He added 28 receptions on 38 targets for 213 yards and another two touchdowns as well.

Williams, meanwhile, totaled 203 carries as well for 903 yards and four touchdowns. He added 43 receptions on 53 targets for 316 yards and another three touchdowns.

Gordon, appearing on Good Morning Football Tuesday, said “We try to outdo each other with everything” when referring to second-year back Williams.

Gordon actually praised both backs in the backfield, but it’s clear he’s bullish on Williams in Year 2, saying, “We’re gonna go crazy, man. We gotta go crazy. The young bull RB [Williams] got so much talent, and we push each other every day in practice. We even got RB [Mike] Boone, who’s a good player, too, that’s going to help push us. I’m expecting the run game to be a lot better than it was last year for sure.”

In other Gordon news, he recently shot back at a “bad teammate” narrative. Ironically, before that, newly-hired coach Nathaniel Hackett praised Gordon, so it seems clear that Gordon’s on good terms with teammates and coaches.
