Willis McGahee apparently is counting on history repeating itself.

ALAMEDA, Calif. -- Some thoughts from the Raiders' OTA session Monday: I found it interesting that Oakland coach Dennis Allen is putting a huge premium on finding leaders on both sides of the ball. Allen said identifying leaders is "huge" in the b...

We have previously discussed how close San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick was to becoming an Oakland Raider. Monday, Sports Illustrated revisited the possibility with former Oakland coach Hue Jackson and Kaepernick. Imagine how different thin...

How does each AFC West team look at running back, and what still needs to be done? Denver Broncos: The Broncos still have Willis McGahee, but he could become a salary-cap casualty. McGahee still runs hard and effectively (he's averaged 4.4 and 4.8...

We continue our AFC West 2013 positional rankings with a group of running backs that offers a lot of questions: 1. Jamaal Charles, Kansas City: Charles had a tremendous season in 2012 after coming back from a torn ACL. He is a top-level back. 2...

For the long-term, the Denver Broncos will have an intriguing backfield of Montee Ball and Ronnie Hillman. As expected, the Broncos added a running back early as they took Ball, a Wisconsin workhorse, with the No. 58 pick. Selecting Ball over Alab...

I want to thank ESPN's Matt Williamson for handling our AFC West Eight in the Box project last week while I was on vacation. The subject was 2013 breakout players. I also wanted to pass my thoughts along on this topic. I chose my players for each ...

ATHENS, Ga. -- The last time a running back traveled more than 600 miles to play for the University of Georgia, Knowshon Moreno wound up hurdling defenders and dropping jaws with his combination of balance and speed. After redshirting his freshman se...

St. Louis Rams running back Steven Jackson reportedly will void his deal and will become a free agent. It is not a great year for running backs in free agency or the draft. Jackson, who will turn 30 in July, had 1,042 yards last season and he can ...

INDIANAPOLIS - Notes from John Elway's media session on Friday: Elway said the Denver Broncos could look for another running back but he likes this current group. He said Knowshon Moreno deserves a lot of credit for turning it on after Willis McG...

ESPN's Chris Mortensen is reporting it is highly unlikely the San Francisco 49ers will release quarterback Alex Smith. Thus, if the Kansas City Chiefs want him, they will likely have to trade for him. I'd think Smith would likely command a mid-rou...

INDIANAPOLIS -- Lost in the Denver Broncos' disappointment of their playoff loss to Baltimore was the maturation of rookie running back Ronnie Hillman in the game. After Knowshon Moreno was injured, Hillman, a third-round pick, took over and rushe...
