The Denver Broncos performed much better in 2024 than people expected of them heading into the season, finishing the year with a 10-7 record and making it into the playoffs.
They weren’t able to make much noise when they got there, as they were instantly eliminated in the Wild Card game by the Buffalo Bills.
Regardless, making it to the playoffs was a step in the right direction for this organization, and the offense rallied around rookie QB Bo Nix, giving him plenty of support and confidence in himself.
With this in mind, the Broncos have been surrounded by lots of hype and excitement leading up to the 2025 season, as expectations have risen for them moving forward.
Many believe they can compete for the AFC West title, a division that has been dominated by the Kansas City Chiefs for nearly a decade.
One of the players who is said to make a major impact on the Broncos’ success is rookie running back RJ Harvey.
Harvey has an opportunity to be the lead back in Denver, and it looks like he’s going to don a new number, which could boost his confidence moving forward.
Broncos reporter Zac Stevens noted on X that Harvey is changing his number to 12, something that several rookies have done throughout the offseason.

This could be upsetting for fans, especially those who bought a jersey with his old number on it, but that’s the risk fans take when purchasing any jersey.
Numbers mean a lot to athletes, especially NFL athletes, and if Harvey believes he’ll perform better with a new number, it will all be worth it for this team.
