The Denver Broncos thought they were getting a Darren Sproles clone in Ronnie Hillman, but he was inactive for the Super Bowl and is on the bubble of even making the roster for the 2014 season.

"We've talked to him, (running backs coach) Eric (Studesville) and myself, as far as: 'Hey, this is a new start to the year. Whatever happened in the past, you've got to build off it. We've just got to start over,'" said offensive coordinator Adam Gase on Saturday, per The Denver Post.

Montee Ball is set to be the Broncos' primary running back.
