Rotowire just released the following update about Denver RB Knowshon Moreno. Their scouts are impressed with the ways he’s been playing in the mandatory mini-camps. Let’s just hope he doesn’t take a step back when the pads come on.

Update:
Moreno has been making a strong impression during the Broncos’ mandatory minicamp, the Denver Post reports. On Saturday, he took all of the snaps with the first-team offense during a no-huddle drill against the defensive starters. He ended the drive with a touchdown reception.

Recommendation:
“I like this kid,” fellow running back Correll Buckhalter said. “I think he’s going to be a heck of a player in this league.” Buckhalter and LaMont Jordan still top the depth chart, but Moreno is coming into his own as he gets a stronger grasp of coach Josh McDaniels’ offense. He’s still not a guarantee to open the year as the starter, but right now he seems to be well on his way to earning that designation.

Have any of you been out to the mini-camps? I’d love to grab post some pictures. Please contact us if you do.
