Frank Schwab, of The Colorado Springs Gazette, reports Denver Broncos rookie RB Knowshon Moreno feels good about his progress thus far.

Moreno has been running behind RBs LaMont Jordan and Correll Buckhalter in practice. Moreno said he is just learning and is trying to find his place with the team. He is learning the playbook, so practices are starting to slow down for him because he understands the offense better. By training camp, Moreno should be ready to move up the depth chart. He plans to keep working on pass protection, catching the ball, running routes and reading defenses.
