The Los Angeles Chargers took a chance on the former Raven a year ago, even after he couldn't make it through the 2023 NFL season opener before sustaining a season-ending Achilles tear. This wasn't the back's first brush with injuries, having missed the entirety of what would've been his sophomore season in 2021 with a slew of leg ailments.

He bounced back in a one-and-done season in LA, getting the second-most nods in the Comeback Player of the Year vote after a successful fourth season in the league. He appeared in 13 games, 11 of which he started in his highest single-season total rushing yard finish with 905 with the most responsibility he's ever been tasked with while also tacking on nine touchdowns with 32 catches for 153 yards.

He'll join a Denver running back room that's already chock-full of players competing for snaps, providing second-year quarterback Bo Nix with plenty of options to dump the ball to as they hope to make a second-straight playoff appearance under head coach Sean Payton.
