Denver Broncos pick Audric Estime, former St. Joseph star, in 2024 NFL Draft
Audric Estime is a Bronco.
Denver selected the star running back from Notre Dame with the 147th selection of the fifth round on Saturday.
At 5-foot-11 and 227 pounds, Estime played his high school ball at St. Joseph Regional in Montvale. He led the Fighting Irish with 1,341 rushing yards this past season, an average of 6.4 yards per carry and the fifth-highest single-season total in program history. His 18 rushing touchdowns set a program record, moving Estime past Allen Pinkett (1984) and Ferguson (1979).
Growing up in Nyack, N.Y., Estime started playing football when he was 4. He was the youngest one on the team, forced to play on the offensive line before his obvious talent convinced the coaches to put him at running back. Big runs and long touchdowns followed in a journey from the Spring Valley (N.Y.) Hornets in youth football to St. Joseph and then Notre Dame, where his success continued.
