Professional career

[edit]

Pre-draft

[edit]

On November 20, 2017, Freeman officially accepted his invitation to play in the 2018 Senior Bowl.[37] Freeman sustained an injury and did not play in the Senior Bowl.[38] Freeman attended the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis and performed all of the combine and positional drills. He finished ninth among all running backs in the 40-yard dash, tied for 12th in the bench press, and also finished third among his position group in the three-cone drill and short shuttle. Freeman displayed quickness and agility especially for a running back of his size and was able to impress scouts with his overall performance.[39] On March 15, 2018, Freeman participated at Oregon's pro day, but opted to stand on his combine numbers and only performed positional drills. At the conclusion of the pre-draft process, Freeman was projected to be a third round pick by NFL draft experts and scouts. He was ranked the eighth best running back in the draft by Scouts Inc. and was ranked the ninth best running back by DraftScout.com.[40][41]

2018 season

[edit]

The Denver Broncos selected Freeman in the third round (71st overall) of the 2018 NFL draft. Freeman was the eighth running back drafted in 2018.[44] On July 5, 2018, the Broncos signed Freeman to a four-year, $3.94 million contract that includes a signing bonus of $997,020.[45] Entering his first training camp, Freeman was slated to be the Broncos' starting running back, but he faced minor competition from Devontae Booker. After a very impressive training camp and preseason, head coach Vance Joseph officially named Freeman the starting running back to begin the season.

2019 season

[edit]

The following week against the Chicago Bears in a 16–14 loss, Freeman recorded 11 carries for 54 rushing yards and 5 receptions for 48 yards. In Week 3 against the Green Bay Packers in a 16–27 loss, Freeman recorded 15 carries for 63 rushing yards and four receptions for 10 yards.
