| 8/23/24 | NFL Network Taps Broncos 'Darren Sproles' Clone as Top Breakout Player. Fans are excited and hopeful about what McLaughlin will do this season as he enters his second year in the NFL after attending Youngstown State University. It was a big jump for McLaughlin, and his rookie season didn't disappoint, though some areas of his game needed much improvement. McLaughlin's rookie campaign included 76 rushing attempts for 410 yards and a touchdown, along with 31 receptions (on 36 targets) for 160 yards and two more touchdowns. Despite McLaughlin's solid showing as a receiver, it was one of the areas that he and the Broncos targeted as an area to improve, as well as trying to get him to offer something as a blocker, though that will be unlikely due to his diminutive size.
