Kansas State running back **DJ Giddens** is gaining traction as a rising NFL Draft prospect, with the **Denver Broncos** showing significant interest. According to NFL analyst **Ryan Fowler**, the Broncos hosted Giddens for a top-30 visit, highlighting his impressive college stats: over 1,200 rushing yards and 21 total touchdowns across the 2023 and 2024 seasons. Giddens also turned heads at the NFL Combine with a 4.43-second 40-yard dash, a 10’10” broad jump, and a 39.5” vertical leap.
The Broncos, who made the playoffs last season for the first time since their 2015 Super Bowl run, are focused on adding offensive firepower to complement their elite defense. Giddens could be a key piece in their rebuild.
Meanwhile, Kansas State’s football program is generating buzz for the 2025 season. FanDuel gives the Wildcats the best odds (+550) to win the Big 12 Championship, fueled by optimism surrounding quarterback **Avery Johnson**. Despite an eighth-place finish in 2024, Johnson believes the team is poised for a breakthrough.
*“I think we can be a really talented team,”* Johnson said in December. *“In the future, I feel like we can play for a Big 12 championship and win it, then play in the College Football Playoffs.”*
With Giddens’ NFL aspirations and Kansas State’s championship hopes, both the player and the program are entering pivotal moments in their respective journeys.
