RJ Harvey

Harvey is the first Broncos player to win Rookie of the Week since quarterback Bo Nix earned the award in three consecutive weeks from Week 10-12 last season.

Harvey recorded three total touchdowns in the 44-24 win, which marked the first three-touchdown performance by a Broncos rookie since Clinton Portis in 2002.

"It's a great confidence-builder for us," Harvey said. "Pat had a great game today. Jahdae had an exceptional pick today. We're just trying to put on for this rookie class."

Harvey posted a career-high 98 scrimmage yards as he rushed 14 times for 58 yards and caught four passes for 40 yards.

The rookie's 50-yard rush was the longest by a Broncos rookie since 2018 and the longest by any Broncos player since 2022.

Numbers remain subject to change ahead of Sunday's regular-season opener.

"It was just good to see everybody work and doing something they love and truly have passion for," rookie cornerback Jahdae Barron said of his teammates. "I'm just excited for those guys. … It was amazing seeing those two guys just go to work and do something they love."

"He's an extremely instinctive runner," Head Coach Sean Payton said of RJ Harvey.

"He had a run today that was something," Head Coach Sean Payton said, "and we kind of turned and looked at each other."

All of the Broncos' draft picks have now signed their rookie deals.

"I feel like playing quarterback has given me an advantage with my vision," Harvey said Saturday. "I know what to expect. I can see what the defense is doing. I feel like that is giving me an advantage."

Jersey numbers, as always, are subject to change ahead of the start of the regular season.

"RJ Harvey, he can go, man," Edmonds said. "He can go."

"His running style — we feel he's dynamic," General Manager George Paton said. "He has really good vision, really good instincts, really good contact balance. Highly explosive. We thought maybe he had the best vision in the draft."
