Why AUDRIC ESTIME Was a BIG RB STEAL for the BRONCOS (His Insane Rise)

At one point, no one thought Audric Estime would be more than your average 3 star college back, but after an insane senior year, he flipped to Notre Dame and had a crazy career with the Irish. After one year as a backup, Estime exploded in both 2022 & 2023 and became one of the best backs in school history. Now as he heads into his rookie year with the Denver Broncos, Estime is getting some buzz, but I think he is going super under the radar. Today, we will talk about his rise, his time in South Bend and his potential impact with the Broncos, enjoy!

i'm a notre dame fan and this dude is legit splitting carries wiyh 3 other running backs and still broke school records

[@slightlyaboveaverage2235]

Was it his O- line or him? That O-line looked scary from the highlights I saw.

[@noahberk2389]

@@slightlyaboveaverage2235 it’s a combo of both but what he can do in the open field is crazy

[@Cooljohn760]

Audric estime was definitely a star at Notre Dame. Hopefully, he does well for the broncos in the NFL.

[@brianbadonde9251]

Thank you, cooljohn. Very cool.

[@ICONMGMTtv]

Scott, I appreciate you profiling Audric, his story is compelling and he was a work horse at ND… respect! 🫡☘️

[@orangecrush5862]

He was a good pick! I'm excited to see him in action!

[@lannybackes1053]

I am not a fan of ND. I am not biased in any way. Yet every time I saw him play it was obvious he is legit! Its hard for RB's to impress me because there are just so many good ones. Modern strength and conditioning has made many great backs, but every once in a while someone comes along who just stands out, Estime is one of them!

[@ishankalra2385]

Tyrone Tracy or Tyler nubin. Not a giants fan but my friends have been raving about those guys

[@thatfantasynetwork132]

Tracy has serious upside. He has low draft capital, but I’m sure he’ll show out during the pre-season and may a push to be the #2 on the depth chart.

[@SplitSauce2289]

Both great choices.

[@ed379]

“After being buried on the depth chart at Notre Dame”…. huh? He was ND primary RB by the start of his sophomore season.

[@johndellorusso9936]

Let’s slow it down there big rig. Dude played in the ACC. That’s a giant leap going into the NFL. I hope you’re right. Who doesn’t want the teams draft picks to work out? Let’s see how he looks in the preseason when he’s against another teams players

[@RonnDeeee808]

He’s Javonte’s replacement. We are too deep at rb. I mean with every rb we have now I literally think we can have a 1st 2nd 3rd down rb. We want to pound Williams and give the ball the McMillan cause he can make plays. But where does Perine and estime fit? Perines a great blocker and out the backfield catcher. estime is like a Williams rb like Between tackles downhill and goal lines. . I mean i guess it’s good we have a lot of talent to dig through. But damn.

[@johnhuston650]

No fumbles wins the coaches and fans. TD had maybe two fumbles in his career with the Broncos.

[@angelrocha6505]

His break off speed is not the best because of how big he is, but once he gets going he’s just as fast as any other back

[@TanakaSigauke]

I thought he was gonna be a 1st rounder

[@drumusic5665]

Idk about 1st but what really caused his slide was that awful 40 time.

[@Canes-kh5bq]

Way to slow for that even for his size. He is basically a smaller slower saquon barkley.

[@SplitSauce2289]

​@@Canes-kh5bqI'd comp him to Zach Moss. I was really hoping the Colts would draft him to replace Moss tbh. Idk why the Colts don't draft more ND alum. I thought Cam Hart and Estime would be perfect fits.

​@@Canes-kh5bqlook at his in game speed he had the fastest speed on his team during a game last year

[@slightlyaboveaverage2235]

​@@brianbadonde9251As i was watching his highlights i noticed he was a lot of the time able to outrun the defense when he broke passed the line

[@thenewguy667]

Perine is not even the 2nd best back man. Come on why you disrespecting jahleel .

[@slightlyaboveaverage2235]

Highlight reel Jaleel still needs to show consistency but I'm a fan of what he could do.

[@thenewguy667]

@@slightlyaboveaverage2235 bro he was the only one that was actually consistent. Despite Sean Payton’s terrible playcalling at times and terrible personnel decisions last year at times like not benching Juedy .

[@kevinwoolwine]

Jaleel needs to be able to pass block.

[@denverbroncosmilehighview9897]

You did see the blocking he got in your high school film clips? AUDRIC ESTIME is only going to be as good as the blocking he gets by the inconsistent Broncos O line. You can buy into the "top what ever" hype PFF / The Broncos or their over marketed fans want to tell you, film doesn't lie. The Denver Broncos have one of the most inconsistent O-lines in the NFL in both the running and passing game. Good luck.

[@Yeaggghurte]

Wish the packers drafted him as a notre dame and packers fan

[@mobigsly9595]

Marshawn lloyd is a much better pick

[@Yeaggghurte]

@@mobigsly9595 true matches there scheme better but as a notre dame fan he’s gonna do big things

[@angelrocha6505]

He’s not injured lmao he tweaked his knee he’s fine man 😂 yall really don’t know anything

[@mobigsly9595]

4.71 40 yard dash is pretty slow for the NFL..

[@JustnNDTrollSniper]

He ran a 4.58 at his pro day. Estime is gonna surprise some people that think 40 times are sure indicators of NFL success for RBs

[@greenman7yyy]

Dead shame that he injured a knee. I expect that will require at least 1 full seasone to recover. We see how he feels next year...darn shame!

[@taylorburgdorf69]

knee scope. he is already back lol

[@matthewshaw3641]

He is too slow and does not avoid contact. He will get popped hard and often in the NFL, NFL linebackers are big and fast,

[@MikeNificent]

We'll see

[@JustnNDTrollSniper]

He's already trucking NFL defenders in preseason and practice

[@anthonymcnealy923]

Jalen Coker

[@thatfantasynetwork132]

It’s a crime that he went undrafted!!!

[@JShady7620]

He’s injured already. These big backs can’t survive. They get hit in the knees their entire college careers.

[@rluellam]

He wasn’t hit in the knees. He tweaked something in OTA’s. No contact; probably it’s just a sprain. He’s expected for training camp.

[@kevinwoolwine]

Dude had a minor knee scope.
