Kapri Bibbs believes he can play in the NFL, exuding confidence and talent befitting a pro running back. When the Broncos elected to activate the more experienced Jeremy Stewart last Sunday, making Bibbs a free agent, the former Colorado State star kept his options open.
The Broncos would like to bring Bibbs back onto their practice squad where he spent the season’s first seven weeks. He was eligible to return to Denver after clearing waivers on Monday. However, Bibbs seeks a 53-man roster spot, explaining why he will work out for the Arizona Cardinals on Tuesday.
Despite their impressive 9-2 record, the Cardinals need help on the ground. Arizona owns the second fewest rushing yards this season (862) with a league-worst 3.1 yards per attempt. Bibbs impressed the Broncos with his practices during the first two months. Denver elevated him to their active roster on Oct. 20 after the Buffalo Bills made a play to sign him.
Bibbs, a rookie, stayed with the Broncos at that time because of his growing comfort in the offense. It is why he could come back if unable to land a 53-man spot.
“I don’t have to think as much, I know I can do my thing out there now,” Bibbs said last week. “It’s about having that confidence.”
Bibbs, 5-foot-11, 203 pounds, rushed for 84 yards and a team-high three touchdowns on 19 carries during the preseason for the Broncos.
