The Broncos released Mike Anderson, their leading rusher last season, in the spring and Tatum Bell, a second-round pick in 2004, looked like the heir apparent.
Mike Bell's leap to the top of the depth chart is even quicker than Terrell Davis, who came into camp as a sixth-round draft pick in 1995 and won the starting running back job by the first week of the season.

Shanahan obviously doesn't have confidence in Mike Bell, as evidenced by the fact that Thomas Jones' name keeps popping up in trade discussions with Chicago for Ashley Lelie.
