Broncos RB Ronnie Hillman cuts out junk food and adds eleven pounds of muscle

We thought you'd appreciate this recent footage from the NFL combine with new Broncos running back Ronnie Hillman, in which he discusses how he bulked up to 200 lbs. without sacrificing any speed. The secret? No candy for dinner.

Can Hillman be an every-down back in the NFL? At 5-10, 200 lbs., and running a 4.45 40-yard dash, it's looking more likely.

I’m glad we had this talk. Now, vaya con Dios, Brah.

Agree, disagree, just like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter so I can quit my day job.

At 58 seconds, I think that's him walking into shot

Yeah, I agree. I don't think he is the Ray Rice type at all. More like Sproles and McCluster. And that's exactly what we need IMO.

There are lots of small scat backs in the league. They are difficult to prepare for, and can change the game in a second.
I doubt he is being projected by our FO to be our work horse back in the future. I think their intention is to use him like the chiefs use McCluster. In that case, size isn't a big factor.

He will add great value in the screen game, draws, dump offs and swing routes. He will be used as a dynamic weapon.

I like the pick, I've missed a weapon like him on our roster since...Quentin Griffin?

The Kid doesn't turn 21` until September. There might just be a chance that he could add 10lbs in the next year or two.

Ray rice is 5'8 212lbs, way thicker than this guy

He interviews well, and is dedicated to his training. Those are both positives.

I think it is a female version of Andrew.

He's about the same size as Ray Rice (5' 9" 210 lbs), so what's the problem?

Too small. Why draft?

Is that Andrew Mason?
