The deal that finally got Knowshon Moreno, the Broncos' first draft pick, into camp

includes almost a nearly $13 million guarantee -- a big chunk of change, particularly considering how prone running backs are to getting hurt. Fortunately, Moreno has what

WalterFootball.com's pre-draft report

described as a "minimal injury history with not many miles on his tires" -- and there's no denying his onfield skills are spectacular. (They'll need to be, considering

quarterback Kyle Orton's dispiriting performance at last week's Invesco Field practice

.) Judging by the video above, it may have been money well spent.
