DEN • RB • #23
Estime (5’11/221) saw his first notable action as a sophomore in 2022. He led Notre Dame with 920 rushing yards despite seeing nine fewer carries than Logan Diggs. Estime also leveraged his massive frame to punch in 10 touchdowns. He took over the backfield in his final season and racked up 1,341 yards and 18 touchdowns on 210 attempts. Estime punctuated a strong production profile with a punishing, 25/238/4 rushing line against Stanford before opting out of Notre Dame’s bowl game. Estime severely hurt his draft stock after the season with a 4.71 40-yard dash at the combine, despite putting up great numbers in the vertical and broad jump. He did, however, save face at his Pro Day with a 4.58-second time. Estime is a physical runner who is hard to bring down on first contact and navigates traffic well for a player of his size. Without the top-end speed to beat corners and safeties in the NFL, he may be pigeonholed into a grinder role as a pro. With the Broncos, Estime will begin as a backup for Javonte Williams.
