Josh McDaniels said the Denver staff targeted Correll Buckhalter in free agency because coaches felt he had "multidimensional" skills that would allow him to succeed in the role of a traditional running back and also in the passing game as a blocker or receiver. "His body is young," McDaniels said. "He just might be, as a matter of fact, I think he is, our fastest back. He's got a great burst and he's got great long speed. "To add a guy to our offense that is very unselfish and is going to accept whatever role he earns is great, and he's going to play his butt off."
