A list of former Broncos in the Hall of Fame
Broncos general manager John Elway, in a recent conversation with me, spoke candidly when I asked him if he was surprised by Brock Osweiler’s defection to Houston.
The quarterbacks will be forever linked and stand together in one of the many keepsakes scattered throughout the team’s UCHealth Training Center.
John Elway has always had this habit of trying to make the impossible possible. Five years into his tenure as the Broncos’ head of football operations, little has changed.
In an exclusive interview, John Elway reflects on his 21-year tenure as a Hall of Fame quarterback turned executive. In that time, the Broncos have undergone multiple identity shifts, most of which decorate his museum of an office.
The odds and expectations were stacked high the moment the final whistle blew at Levi’s Stadium on Feb. 7. The Broncos, now Super Bowl champions, had quashed the doubters and proven again that, yes, defense really can win championships.
Broncos president Joe Ellis and general manager John Elway spoke somberly about their beloved owner Pat Bowlen as he fought Alzheimer’s and relinquished day-to-day control of the team.
“Are you asking me if we’re here to win now or from now on?” John Elway asked Monday, not really expecting an answer.
Come Wednesday, the eve of the Broncos’ 2016 training camp, John Elway likely will field the same questions as a year ago about the same topics, with different names.
The Broncos averted a potential season-dooming distraction. But it left one heck of a story in its wake on how the Broncos agreed to make Von Miller the NFL’s second-highest paid player behind Colts quarterback Andrew Luck.
