In his first [[2000 NFL season|season]] in 2000, he ended up with 1,487 yards and received the franchise’s first [[NFL Rookie of the Year Award|NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year Award]]. He set several franchise records on December 3 at [[New Orleans Saints|New Orleans]] with 37 carries for 251 yards and four touchdowns. He also had games with 187 and 195 yards, the only rookie in NFL history with three 175+ yard games.<ref>{{As of|2017}} 48 rookies, per [https://pro-football-reference.com/play-index/pgl_finder.cgi?request=1&match=season&year_min=1950&year_max=2016&season_start=1&season_end=1&age_min=0&age_max=0&pos=0&game_type=R&career_game_num_min=0&career_game_num_max=499&game_num_min=0&game_num_max=99&week_num_min=0&week_num_max=99&c1stat=rush_yds&c1comp=gt&c1val=175&c2stat=choose&c2comp=gt&c3stat=choose&c3comp=gt&c4stat=choose&c4comp=gt&c5comp=choose&c5gtlt=lt&c6mult=1.0&c6comp=choose&order_by=pass_td pro-football-reference.com]</ref> He was plagued by injuries in the following years, not even playing in 2004, the result of tearing both groin muscles while blocking on a punt return in the waning moments of a preseason game. The [[2005 NFL season]] was a return to form. He rushed for 1,014 yards in 15 games. In reaching his second 1,000-yard rushing season, Anderson set several modern-day NFL records (longest stretch between seasons leading a team in rushing, longest stretch between a player's first and second 1,000-yard rushing seasons, and greatest number of seasons passed between 1,000-yard rushing seasons with no intervening seasons rushing for that distance). On March 1, 2006, Anderson was waived by the Broncos to avoid exceeding the [[salary cap]].
