The Denver Broncos added several weapons for quarterback Drew Lock in the 2020 NFL Draft. They also added some protection up front, selecting offensive linemen in the third and sixth rounds.
Lock isn’t the only one that appreciates the new offensive linemen. After Denver added LSU center Lloyd Cushenberry, running back Melvin Gordon reacted to the pick on Twitter:
Three rounds later, the Broncos selected a potential sleeper in Fresno State guard Netane Muti. After watching some film, Gordon sent a perfect tweet about Muti on Sunday morning:
Muti will probably serve as a backup as a rookie but if he stays healthy, he could win a starting job within the next one or two years.
Denver’s offensive line will be responsible for blocking for a pair of Pro Bowl running backs this season — Gordon and Phillip Lindsay.
Over the last five years with the Chargers, Gordon rushed for 4,240 yards and 36 touchdowns. He’ll look to add to those totals while running behind a revamped Broncos offensive line in 2020.
