Denver Broncos

2013 season

Anderson signed with the Denver Broncos as an undrafted free agent on March 17, 2013.[15] Anderson suffered a MCL injury during practice before the 2013 season started.[16] Anderson fought to make the roster with a running back unit that contained Knowshon Moreno, Montee Ball, and Ronnie Hillman.[17] Anderson made his NFL debut on October 27, 2013, running for 22 yards on four carries against the Washington Redskins in the 45–21 victory.[18] Overall, he appeared in five games as a rookie and recorded seven carries for 38 yards.[19] The Broncos reached Super Bowl XLVIII in Anderson's rookie season but lost 43–8 to the Seattle Seahawks.[20] Anderson had a reception for 14 yards and two carries for nine yards as he got the ball for the last three plays of the game.[21]

2014 season

With the departure of Knowshon Moreno to the Miami Dolphins in the offseason, the Broncos backfield provided Anderson with a greater opportunity than the previous season.[22] However, Montee Ball received a majority of the carries early on in the season. In Week 4, against the Arizona Cardinals, Ball suffered a significant groin injury.[23] With his role expanding, on November 9, 2014, Anderson scored his first career touchdown, on a 51-yard screen pass from Peyton Manning in a 41–17 rout of the Oakland Raiders.[24] Anderson also ran for 90 yards on 13 carries.[25] On November 23, 2014, Anderson ran for 167 yards on 27 carries and a touchdown against the Miami Dolphins.[26] Anderson's performance was his first game of his career with over 100 rushing yards. On November 30, 2014, Anderson ran for a season-high 168 yards and a receiving touchdown against the Kansas City Chiefs.[27] Anderson ran for over 150 yards each time, the first Denver Broncos running back to do so since Reuben Droughns in 2004.[28][29] On December 7, 2014, Anderson scored three touchdowns against the Buffalo Bills.[30] This was Anderson's first multi-touchdown game of his career. On December 22, 2014, Anderson ran for 83 yards and a touchdown against the Cincinnati Bengals.[31] Against the Bengals, he ran for his fifth touchdown of the season. On December 28, 2014, Anderson ran for another three touchdowns against the Oakland Raiders, bringing his total touchdown total to 10.[32] Overall, in the 2014 season, he finished with 849 rushing yards, eight rushing touchdowns, 324 receiving yards, and three receiving touchdowns.[33] On January 11, 2015, Anderson ran for 80 yards on 18 carries against the Indianapolis Colts in the Divisional Round of the playoffs.[34] The Broncos lost by a score of 13–24.[35][36] Anderson was ultimately named to his first Pro Bowl at the end of the season in place of the injured Le'Veon Bell.[37] He played for Team Irvin in the 2015 Pro Bowl.[38]

2015 season

Going into the 2015 season, Anderson and Ronnie Hillman were the main running backs for the Broncos.[39] Anderson started off the 2015 season slow without breaking 50 rushing yards in a single game through Week 6. On November 1, 2015, Anderson ran for 101 yards on 14 carries and a touchdown in a 29–10 victory over the Green Bay Packers.[40] On December 2, 2015, after a 30–24 win against the New England Patriots in Week 12, Anderson was named the AFC Offensive Player of the Week.[41] Anderson compiled 113 rushing yards and two touchdowns, including the game-winning score in overtime.[41][42] The Broncos finished the season 12–4 and Anderson had 720 rushing yards with five touchdowns.[43][44] The Broncos earned the #1-seed in the AFC.[45] On January 17, 2016, Anderson had 15 carries for 72 yards and the game-winning touchdown in the first playoff game, the Divisional Round against the Pittsburgh Steelers.[46][47] The Broncos won 23–16.[48] In the AFC Championship against the New England Patriots, Anderson had 16 carries for 72 yards.[49] The Broncos won 20–18 to advance to the Super Bowl. On February 7, 2016, Anderson was a key contributor in the Broncos' 24–10 victory over the Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl 50.[50][51][52] In the game, Anderson totaled 100 yards of offense on 27 touches (23 carries and four receptions), one of his carries being a two-yard touchdown run with just over three minutes left, expanding the Broncos' lead to twelve points.[53][54]

2016 season

After the 2015 season, Anderson became a restricted free agent and signed a four-year, $18 million offer sheet with the Miami Dolphins on March 10, 2016.[55] However, on March 15, 2016, the Broncos matched the Dolphins' offer.[56]

Anderson ran for 107 yards on 16 carries and a touchdown.[58] He reported soreness to the team doctors on Tuesday and underwent surgery to repair his meniscus that week.[59] He had 110 carries for 437 yards and four touchdowns along with 16 receptions for 128 yards and a touchdown.[60] He was placed on injured reserve on October 29, 2016, and underwent successful surgery.[61][62]

2017 season

In the 2017 season, Anderson emerged as the Broncos' main rushing weapon. He ended up being one of the few bright spots for the team in a dismal season.[63] On September 17, 2017, in Week 2, Anderson ran for 118 yards and a touchdown on 25 carries as well as recording three catches for 36 yards and a touchdown against the Dallas Cowboys.[64] He was the first running back to break 100 yards against the Cowboys since Alfred Morris did so for the Washington Redskins in 2015.[65] In Week 15, against the Indianapolis Colts, he finished with 158 rushing yards.[66] On December 31, in Week 17, he rushed for 61 yards on 18 carries against the Kansas City Chiefs, bringing his season yardage total to 1,007 yards.[67] It was his first and only 1,000-yard season.[68]

On April 16, 2018, Anderson was released by the Broncos after five seasons.[69]

Carolina Panthers

On May 7, 2018, Anderson signed a one-year contract with the Carolina Panthers.[70] He joined a backfield already dominated by Christian McCaffrey.[71] He made his Panthers' debut in their season-opening 16–8 victory over the Dallas Cowboys. He had seven carries for 35 yards in the win.[72] In Week 3, he scored his first touchdown as a Panther on a 24-yard reception against the Cincinnati Bengals.[73] On November 12, 2018, Anderson was released by the Panthers.[74]
