If this All-Rookie Team projection holds, few teams will have more reasons to celebrate than the Denver Broncos

The focus around the Denver Broncos' draft class in 2025 typically revolves around two themes. One is the value of Jahdae Barron with Denver's first-round draft choice. The other is the upgraded weapons surrounding young quarterback Bo Nix. 

The vision of Denver's draft choices is certainly cohesive with the needs of the roster. And in Denver's bid to chase down the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC West, they'll certainly benefit from significant contributions from the new faces in tow for the 2025 season. At least one major outlet seems to think that Denver will get it. 

There are three Denver Broncos on NFL.com's All-Rookie Team this summer. Conveniently enough, all three phases of the game are represented, too. 

Three Denver Broncos named to 2025 NFL All-Rookie Team 

NFL.com posted their projected 2025 NFL All-Rookie team and Denver had first-round draft choice Jahdae Barron, second-round draft choice R.J. Harvey, and punter Jeremy Crawshaw were all included on the list. Harvey may be the most surprising one of the bunch, as he now has some added backfield company in the form of veteran running back J.K. Dobbins. Dobbins, who played last season with the Chargers, signed earlier this summer. 

Harvey weighs 205 pounds, but his thighs appear to account for at least 100 of them. This helps explain the 5-foot-8 back’s exceptional lateral agility and burst, traits that have many comparing him to last year’s top rookie rusher, Bucky Irving. Running behind a premium offensive line and for an elite play-caller, Harvey has the opportunity to be a fantasy league winner in Year 1. Denver has a crowded running back room, especially after the free-agent signing of J.K. Dobbins, but that’s nothing new for Sean Payton. The savvy schemer consistently finds ways to get the ball to his best players, and I think Harvey could be one of those on an offense I’m extremely high on.

Harvey joins top-10 draft choice Ashton Jeanty on the list. Should Harvey end up out-producing names drafted in front of him at the running back position, it would be a massive win not only for Harvey but also for the Broncos' offensive outlook. Omarion Hampton, Quinshon Judkins, and TreVeyon Henderson all have unique opportunities to commandeer marquee roles — can Harvey be the one to actually seize one? 

Should Denver be the one who strikes gold, it will be a strong omen for Denver living up to these swelling expectations this season. 

As far as the Broncos' other two representatives? It shouldn't be a surprise that the only punter drafted gets the call. And Barron has rightfully became a darling prospect who Denver should be able to implement in the perfect role amid their established talent on defense. Harvey is the one to watch here.
