Breakdown: McLaughlin was one of four undrafted free agents to make the Broncos’ initial 53-man roster, and the burst that made him a top storyline during training camp and the preseason translated to the regular season. The speedy McLaughlin ranked second on the Broncos in rushing yards (410), first in yards per carry (5.4) and fifth in receptions (31), and he exceeded 60 yards from scrimmage in four games.
