Cory Boyd – The Latest Broncos Running Back

The Denver Broncos will promote rookie running back Cory Boyd from the practice squad this week. Peyton Hillis became the fifth Broncos RB to be placed on IR this season, so the Broncos are turning to Boyd to help Tatum Bell and P.J. Pope pick up the Broncos running game.

Boyd is 6-1, 218 lbs. and ran a 4.51 40-time at the combine. He was a seventh round draft pick of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers out of South Carolina who reached an injury settlement with the team. Check out the Cory Boyd highlights below (extra hard-hitting highlight after the jump):
