Honestly, I've been a Broncos fans for 40 years, and I've seen the best they have ever had, but Von Miller is higher than 10.
John elway should be #1 Denver Broncos because he was heart of soul of franchise.2 Super Bowls
thanks for your more experienced perspective
I've only been an active fan for half that time, and Von certainly sticks out to me more than #10 all time
Should in that list Tim Tebow be?
@@adrianpijas8867 WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU SMOKING!!
TIM TEBOW IS A FREAKING GARBAGE QUARTERBACK, HE SHOULD'VE BEEN A TIGHT END, BUT HE'D PROBABLY SUCK AT THAT TOO...JUST LIKE HE DOES PLAYING BASEBALL.
He and Peyton should switch I'm a Peyton fan but he's only number 10 on this list
I think we can all agree that Von Miller should have been higher on the list
I'd say 2 or 3
Right after Dennis Miller...
3 for sure
He is better than most of the other players.In my opinion
Yea
This is why I LOVE the Broncos! They’re hated on, underestimated, never recognized, and still world champions three times over! DB4L!
me too
I'm not even from Denver, but I got Terrell Davis' autograph in San Diego before the Super Bowl when I was a young boy and I've been a fan ever since...
My parents are Giants fans and no matter where I've moved or who I'm with, the Broncos have always been a part of me
Pondering why I'm so invested in them; I think it's for the reason you stated
This year really proved how much the Broncos are hated by most other teams and fanbases. We'll be back on top soon enough tho
@@fulcrumthebrave5715 Post-Manning Broncos, are why Owners do belong in the HoF. I have a four-way tie at 10: Karl Mecklenburg, Louis Wright, Simon Fletcher, Dennis Smith. "Defense wins championships" except when you only get there because John Elway.
Something just jogged in my memory about Wright having a pick-six called back on a penalty against the Raiders. Next play, Wright pick-six. Not to be denied another (long) shot at the Super Bowl, whattabronco.
Anyone else here loving the fact that Champ Bailey actually ended up in the HOF in 2019???
Von Miller is already a Hall of famer and he’s not ever 30 yet
Ben he’s not a hall of famer yet but we can’t deny that he definitely will be in the HOF
Tom Brady Shady #WOAT#MaddenCursed#OldFART There’s people in the hall of fame with less than him right now
Ben how is he a hall of Famer for having two amazing years? He didn't do crap before the year they won the superbowl and he has been average since the year after
Richard Grace yep, totally, definitely not the third fastest player to 50 sacks right
Richard Grace
What’s up with discrediting great men? Do you have a personal vengeance against Bronco Greats? Lmao
Von’s been a top 3 Edge rusher pretty much every single season he’s been healthy, and was probably snubbed that DPOY award that was given to Mack, who probably won it because Oakland won more games than we did that year.
Real Broncos fans know how much Peyton’s time no matter how short meant to us.
Derek Blankenship damn straight
Without him, I doubt we get players like Ware, Sanders and Talib (plus countless others). He made Denver a very desirable team.
He made Denver Division champ and Super bowl contender for those short 4 season. Since he's left look at Denver now.
supratrd900 yeah they are doing good, currently on a win streak :)
Yea 2 games after dropping 8 straight and missing the playoffs for the 2nd straight year. It's going to be like when John Elway retire where Denver goes through a whole QB carousel. Griese, Brister, Cutler, Plummer, Tebow, and whoever else until they got Peyton. Now it's Brock, Paxton, Trevor and whoever else.
End this injustice and put Atwater in the HOF!!!
Alejandro Hernandez yes agreed
Alejandro Hernandez he is now
im front the future in 2020 the world is ending but atwater is in hall of fame so its all good
He made it baby!! Yeah!!
Steve At water NFL HOF class of 2020
just so you all are aware to it, when Atwater levels "The Nigerian Nightmare", he broke Christians shoulder pads, cracked his own helmet and smashed the mic he had on under his pads. It is one of the hardest hits in the history of the NFL.

Egg. WHi tftf
Ywis v t fwI cute fatlittle w reg was a guawg as fat
@@loganlisko7469 ikr
Okoye was reaching Bo Jackson status running over and through every defense they played that season. After that hit he disappeared, I'm not even sure that he finished the season. He was never the same. after that hit
the shot heard round the nfl!!
@@slickchick5811 I always loved that hit. Then I did some research On Christian. It came down heart for the game. Atwaters was 5 times the size
Thats why Champ Bailey was one of the greatest corners of all time in my eyes he went about it the same way Barry Sanders did he let his play do the talking and not his mouth
I have him as the 2nd best bronco ever after John Elway
Let's get Shannon Sharp to comment on this comment lmao🤣
I'd like to add an honorable mention for wr Lionel Taylor. The first Bronco to catch 100 passes in a season. A tremendous wideout during the Broncos early years.
He also played QB one game
I remember when pat said “this ones for John” I broke down like a little baby.... haha
I love that! Thank you for sharing! It is why we cheer for a team for so long. Ups and downs, heart breaks... and then that final grand moment! 🥰
Champ bailey and rod smith were my favorite to watch as a young bronco fan! 👍🏽 🐴
Von Miller should be wayyyy higher
Duncan4Prez Spurs4Life for real
it's disrespectful that they have payton manning higher than von miller
mmmmmh, I would probably agree, my mom watched them growing up, put Miller at 5.
S.E.C. Perigee No. I woild put him at number 2. The fact that he is already around 75 sacks or something like that in his 7th season is insane. There are only two other players in NFL history to have 10+ sacks in their first six seasons along side Von Miller: Reggie White and Demarcus Ware.
overrated
Randy Gradishar was the best linebacker I ever saw. He was big, strong, tough, and never made a mental mistake. He was good at everything. He just wasn't verbal and Denver isn't a big media town. but, trust me, anybody would have traded their best linebacker for him during his time in Denver
His own teammate Tom Jackson comes to mind...
Besides Von Miller and Ray Lewis in the modern era, Singletary CHI, Taylor NYG, Hendricks OAK, Rickey Jackson NO, and Seth Joyner PHI swiftly come to mind…
…
Champ Bailey was such a class act. It was a fans pleasure to watch him play.
His tackling technique alone, was a joy to see. Love & Miss Ya Champ!
Agreed. He actually tackled like a safety or linebacker if they ran to his side. Not like Dion's olé tackle, step to the side and jump on his back until the safety came to save him. He hurt his shoulder making tackles on big backs and played hurt
Hell yeah
Champ Bailey ate up a ton of salary cap, never won anything, and ALWAYS got burned.
I use to work security at the bronco games for 2009 season,I got to drive Rod Smith's cart into the stadium the day he was inducted to the Broncos Ring of Fame! Go Broncos!
Floyd Little??? He only played his entire career in Denver AND is enshrined in Canton, OH. But I guess being in the Hall of Fame doesn't count.
Probably best of the rest
Luke Enno iko
Ironeagle 777 Manning
Luke Enno
I hate kids too.
Ironeagle 777 Miller and Manning, replace them with Floyd and Dennis Smith.
Von Miller deserves higher. Such a baller. He made our Defense. This youtube video came out 4 years ago and hes one of the best on the Buffalo Bills. I was at one of the 2021 broncos summer practice and he got the crowd wild up and started a clap. Such a legend. Also Rod Smith saying " we have a 14 point lead, we should have a 28 point league" this is what the Broncos need now. That mentality.
10.) Peyton Manning (2 super bowls 1 won, and a record breaking season. I just couldn't keep him off list, despite a short period of time in Broncos uniform)
9.) Karl Mecklenberg
8.) Rod Smith
7.) Steve Atwater
6.) Randy Gradishar
5.) Shannon Sharpe
4.) Von Miller
3.) Champ Bailey
2.) Terrell Davis
1.) John Elway
Others seriously considered included in no specific order
Al Wilson
Jason Elam
Chris Harris Jr.
Demaryius Thomas
Louis Wright
Dennis Smith
Tom Nalen
Tom Jackson
No way Elway is number one. Also DT was second all time on the Broncos as a receiver. How did he not make your top ten?
@@paranoyd29906 1.) The fact that you say Elway is not number one as definitively as you did, discredits your opinion right away.
2.) If Rod smith, the Number 1 All-time WR is ranked 8th on my list, how do you expect me to put DT top 10...Do you not know who Meck is?
3.) Just because DT died does not automatically vault him up the list. Yes, it is heartbreaking and my heart dropped the second I saw the headline, but you're being ruled by your emotions.
4.) Who is #1, if not Elway?
Do you not know who Floyd Little was? You don't even know Denver.
@@ambrosiasax6879 I know who he is. Where would you put him?
most underrated thing about Champ was that he was also an exceptional tackler for a CB
Champ played great for every team he ever played for. Real talk
Exceptional tackler. He's my favorite defensive player of all time. I watched him in college,he came out in 97 after Charles woodson. He was born to say corner in my eyes 🤷🏾♂️
Champ Bailey ate up a ton of salary cap, never won anything, and ALWAYS got burned.
I’m glad Rod Smith is in there, growing up I just remember him being one of the better receivers in the league.
pride893 I think demaryius Thomas is better than rod Smith. In just 8 seasons DT is ready to pass Smith in the Broncos record books. DT should definitely be in the top 10, if not now then at the end of his career be will be a top 10 bronco
Sports Guy1909 No way... Better put some RESPECK on RODS name!
Ryzen yes so true
Sports Guy1909 What?? Maybe you need to relook at how many receptions smith had. That guy was a machine and he was clutch. And Smith left on his terms .. he retired. Demarius just lost his edge.
Rod smith IS statistically the greatest undrafted wr ever
That one guy got it right (31:45) when he said that without Elway the Denver Broncos never even get close to the earlier Super Bowls. People used to talk about Elway not being able to get it done but they don't realize that without Elway they don't even make the playoffs. Easily one of the greatest QB's ever and in a time when defenders were allowed to actually hit the QB and he played in a cold weather climate and he had no real running game until Davis. Oh yeah, let's not forget that he was drafted to play pro baseball by the New York Yankees.
I’ve always said in this age with receivers as they are now and good running backs being a dime a dozen elway would have been running circles around the entire nfl.
@@LoneWolfsLair
Absolutely right. Elway was amazing and he carried many of those Bronco teams on his back. You can barely touch the quarterbacks today and pass interference is called all the time. Back then defenders were hanging all over the receivers and Elway, Marino and Kelly still got them the ball.
Karl Mecklenburg was a BEAST.
Atwater was one of my favorite broncos love the way he used to hit
How in the hell is Floyd Little not on this list?
Just about anyone could replace Manning on this list
I get he was a big piece for denver, the guy only rushed for 1000 yards one time. Clinton Portis, mike Anderson, Willis mcgahee are all better backs and they won't come near the hof. Floyd worked his tail off and had no help on his team, but hes a bit overrated in my opinion.
@@90sgrungefan51 How is is overrated? The list is for the "Top 10 Greatest Denver Broncos of All-Time." Floyd Little's presence and popularity alone kept the Broncos in Denver. He was the first nationally-known Bronco.
Don't look at his numbers like you would look at a modern running back's and compare them. It was a different game back then. Floyd was incredibly productive despite the lack of talent around him and when he retired was 7th all-time in rushing and his franchise rushing record stood until Terrell Davis Broke it.
To say he's underrated is a blatant sign of ignorance to the work he put in and the way the game was played during his career. Anyone can look at and compare stats, try learning how the game has changed over the past 100 years.
it’s only because miller was number 10 on this list
if von was number 5 or so (which is where he should be) he’d make the list
but von miller is definitely better
@@braedenostrow It's appropriate to have Miller at #10 but comparing Von to Floyd is like comparing apples to oranges. Different eras, different positions. Where Miller is placed isn't a valid reason to exclude Floyd Little.
Had they replaced Karl Mecklenburg with Floyd Little no one would question it. Mecklenburg was a badass, yes, but an argument can be made that he and Tom Jackson probably shouldn't be on this list ESPECIALLY over Floyd Little. Little is the reason the Broncos remained in Denver, was 7th all-time in rushing when he retired, and was the Broncos first nationally-recognized star.
There's a reason he was nicknamed "The Franchise" and the fact that The Franchise isn't on this list is a disgrace to Broncos Country.
Sharpe was made for Undisputed!!! “Skiiiuupppp, here’s the thing”!!!
That German comedian guy is so funny. Can’t get enough of him.
The beauty of having a favorite Bronco is that nobody can argue with you about it or say this player should be it or this guy was better - cause it's your own preference.
TD was by far my favorite. Watching him play, seeing his excitement but also mild-toned personality, and knowing that he did everything it took to give us that Championship against the pack meant the world to me growing up as a kid.
Elway may be known as the life-long Bronco and Manning, Randy, Miller, Atwater, Rod, Sharpe, Champ and everyone in between did their part, but I will always have a special spot for TD on that list.
And yes, I do think Miller should have been higher.
Notice how back then they would tackle with their HEAD UP
Elway was a tough player and outstanding Quarterback
Plus I think Eddy Mac deserved a place. I can't remember him ever dropping a pass. Didn't matter where you threw it... He'd get it.
Broken leg and all. He wasn't dropping a ball.
Right, get absolutely leveled over the middle and hop right up, pop his neck a couple times and resume play.
If Joe Namath is a hall of famer, everyone on this list should be a hall of famer.
Randall Denison True but Namath was pretty ass the only reason he is in the Hall of Fame is because of that one game
@@liggonsreacts21 first QB ever to throw for 4,000 yards. He was a lot more than just that one game.
@@eddixon2015 overrated as hell
I think some of the crappy stats of Namath is because he was always trying to get a shitty team on the scoreboard. You know he was an incredible pure athlete and was drafted by an MLB team and also could play a mean game of basketball, but he tore up his knee one day at Alabama when he forgot to get taped. With good kneed he's just like Elway. But it's true he was pretty much of a gunslinger and he often missed and also I think he was an alcoholic and that may have affected his game.
That's a 100% fact
Shoutout to Champ Bailey making the HOF this year!!!!!! Go Broncos!!!!
Champ Bailey was a redskin not a bronco
@@loscar5434 And that's why his HOF jersey is a Broncos jersey and not a redskin potatoes jersey... right?
@@loscar5434 nah man I think he will always be considered a Bronco
No reason to disrespect Tim Tebow... I've been a fan since Floyd Little. The modern era with John and company rocked...
He couldn't throw a bowling ball through a glass door.
I thought they'd include Simon Fletcher - 97.5 sacks in 10 years with the Broncos.
Yeah that's bullshit.
Fletcher never got the respect he deserved and earned.
Yes he was underated
He never even got voted by the sports writers to be in the pro bowl. Even in the season he got 16 sacks or when he set an NFL record for 10 consecutive games with a sack. I say sports writers because, at the time, only they determined who was in the Pro Bowl......unless I remember it wrong.
Denver Broncos fan for life here..
This list is all sorts of jacked up.
I was taking classes at night at CU Denver and walking to the bus or my car (I can't remember which) I saw that hit when walking by a bar and looking in at the television. That was one of the all time great Broncos hits.
I would have placed Manning at ten, and then gone on with the real Broncos. It is hard to take Manning off of the list, as he completely sparked what became a dominant team the moment he put on their uniform. The Broncos have had some great players over the years, but like the video states, playing in Denver means that you will get overlooked quite often.
Carlos Perez: Without Manning, Denver goes nowhere with Tim Tebow. No where. Without Manning Denver never makes the playoffs or a Super Bowl. It would have been 8 straight years of so-so football in Denver without the Sheriff for those 4 years.
Agree that Manning should be on the list, but #5 was way too high. Makes sense to put him at #10, then move on. He is and always will be remembered as a Colt. He makes the list because of the record setting 2013 season. Heck, the way I see it he only played 3 seasons, though he was on the team for 4 seasons. His 2 SBs for the Broncos, he played awful. We just had a dominant defense to help him out the second time. Manning was great in the regular season, not so much in the playoffs.
Mvp, went to 2 superbowls, win one in 4 years. I think he's a bronco's legend.
@@briankistner4331 um...the second one was by the d.
“Don’t get mad at me Tito, keep your head on a swivel”
😂 I don’t know why that made me laugh so hard.
These comedians are wack , get ACTUAL teammates or good/HOF players that recognize these said players
How is Von only 10?? He literally had possibly the best defensive performance EVER in the superbowl and they won!!
Can we put Dave Logan somewhere?? The best sports announcer in my opinion. He always puts so much emotion into every game.
Exactly! Hearing Dave Logan on the radio, "Are you kidding me?!?!" Love it...
John Elwayyyyyyy#7. The heart of Denver Broncos back to back 🧡💙🧡💙🧡
1. John Elway
2. TD
3. Atwater
4. Floyd little
5. Von Miller
6. Rod Smith

Roadwarrior 0823 DT cracks the list??
Do you not know how good shannon sharpe was
7:43 "I'm gonna break your @#$%&*! head!" 🤣
I love all the highlights against the Chefs. As a Broncos fan living in KC, it is awesome seeing all the top 10 Broncos and their highlights vs the Chefs.
Broncos vs. Chefs and Broncos vs Raiders are always awesome.
GREAT Sport Memories. Best of the Best. I would add No, 87, Ed McCaffrey.
My favorite BRONC of all time..
How Shannon sharpe didn’t make the NFL Top 100 for tight ends, I’ll never understand. Tony got it, gronk got it, uncle shay should’ve been right there with them.
I have been a Broncos fan for 36 years, John Elway was it,!!!! the thing then!!!!!!!!!. The blue and orange are still my team today and brings back a lot of memories.😀
Jason elam
I think the fact that no one has even tried to reply to your comment says a lot...oh...uuuuhhhh....
On everything
He won a lot of games for us, sadly he missed the one for us to get in the Playoffs in 93 with Wade vs LAR
Damn that's a good one you could argue that but they'd never put him or any kicker in a special like this there's no dynamic highlights there's no crazy personality nobody celebrates kickers the way they do every other player on the field there's nothing to say just yeah he was a great kicker he didn't miss often he was clutch he had some special game winners and that's literally it. But still, by value to the team, I'd put him top 15 in my lifetime i been watching the broncos as a fan since maybe 85.
J1 is priceless. Out of where? Hawaii
Skiuuppppp
SKKIEEEPPP! Where's Joy's fine ass at?
Football Junkies Enterprises 365 😂😂😂
Agree with list, maybe Miller #6 in this rank.
But, well, Ed McCaffrey and the GOAT Jake "The Snake" Plummer are my favorites.
Jake Plummer honestly didn't have that good of stats
@@Dr.Zoidberg_2914 Agreed, but Jake was fun and also the most reliable QB we had until Manning. Remember when the media dubbed him "No Mistake Jake"? He had 229 attempts without an interception, took the boys to 13-3, and ended up in the Pro-Bowl that year.
Randy Gradishar is the Greatest HOF snub of all time? Most tackles in NFL HISTORY, until Ray Lewis broke it but he had seven more years in the league. BS!
INFOCOOL Totally agree!!!
just a great player,200 tackles a year for 10 yrs
When it comes to DEN, you could do a list of greatest snubs: Rod Smith, Elam, Alzado, Tombstone, Neil Smith, Meck, Grandishar, etc.
"I'm gonna pull a Thurman Thomas." - Shannon Sharpe
RIP DT You'll always be the greatest broncos receiver for me
I watched Karl Mecklenberg playing for the Gophers in Minnesota. Sure we knew Karl Mecklenberg was good but we had no idea he was going to be nearly unblockable upon arrival in the NFL. It was great fun for Gopher fans watching what he was able to do for the Denver Broncos.
What about ed mcaffery
He was way better than Rod Smith.
I'm on the fence that he was better than RS, but Ed could acrobatically catch anything thrown his way. He was absolutely amazing and should be recognized more often.
I would not say he was better than rod smith but I Don't think he did quite enough to make this list I would put him around 12 on this list. and would put Floyd Little at 11
I agree 100%, Ed McCaffrey should definitely be on this list. Anybody seen his kids play?
For me he was a ny Giant
Uhm, where is Floyd Little?
S.E.C. Perigee thats what im saying. He is a hall of famer.
HoFer, but as a broncos fan, there are 10 broncos better than him. First HoFer in team history, but averaged only 3.5 yards in his career.
*3.9/4.0 yards
The list was too big for him. LOL
God bless that Champ Bailey is in the HOF, now it should be Atwater and Mecklenburg!
DENNIS SMITH WAS BETTER THAN STEVE ATWATER!!
Many memories. Subscribed.
I'm a touch surprised to see Floyd Little and Jason Elam left off this list.
Floyd Little ?? Lyle Alzado ??
The Legendary Lurch Logan Both of those guys belong and what about Tom Jackson? Otis Armstrong? Bob Swenson?
There’s so many amazing Broncos players that are always snubbed, we are the 2nd most winningest organization in sports history after all!!
@@GAPSYO3O1 factually wrong. 😂
Lyle Alzado was remembered as being a raider. Although he did have some solid years with the donkeys.
Because Alazado did steroids
It seems y'all have forgotten about Floyd Little
I am a Broncos fan from after Floyd's time, but I fully agree. Just an awesome rb!
I guess you could say he gets .... little respect 😬!
Rod Smith and Steve Atwater need golden jackets. This is so pathetic
Atwater has one now finally
can we quit having comedians on these? theyre not funny and it ruins the feeling of these types of films
Daniel Chachanashvili yeah, It's always bothered me that they have more comedians and celebrities these lists than actual analyst
I was thinking the same thing. Put some actual player's on here instead. People who can truly relate.
Get rid of the German.
Agreed!!! I don't care what they think. I love these type of lists and I want experts and not amateurs.
Keep Dan Soder in. Guy likes football
When you hear Steve Atwater’s name you think of John Lynch, Ray Lewis and other hard hitting safeties, linebackers, corners
true
0:01 10: Von Miller
3:00 9: Karl Mecklenburg
6:05 8: Randy Gradishar
8:45 7: Rod Smith
12:56 6: Steve Atwater
15:27 5: Peyton Manning
18:25 4: Champ Bailey
21:36 3: Shannon Sharpe
25:31 2: Terrell Davis
29:37 1: John Elway
There was nothing more beautiful than watching TD breaking multiple tackles and running down field for a touchdown!!
Wasn’t ed mccaffery a big part of those super bowl teams in the 90’s? Why were those guys in the video talking as if he didn’t exist..
pride893 He was awesome. I think I still have his cereal lying around somewhere.
I was thinking mcaffrey is top 10 or even 5 for broncos
He was great, but he just wasn't as good as you remember him being. He played alot other places, and even won a superbowl with the niners. He was good, but not deserving of being ahead of von miller or rod smith
He and Rod Smith had several seasons together where they both had 1000+ yds receiving.
LILCHEESE99 okay so you didn't see all the hits he took and still held onto the ball after a catch?
No Floyd little or Gary Zimmerman...
But boy if John Elway had some weapons in the 80s you would have won five Super Bowls or more
also tom nalen and mark schlereth should be on here too but o-lineman are used to being snubbed
There's no way in hell they would've beat the 86 giants or 89 49ers even if they had the weapons
Watching this now and Champ Bailey is a HOF now!
There’s a lot of players you can argue with their position on the list after 3. But we can all agree that number 1 and 2 are just simply correct
Karl Mecklenburgh and Rulon Jones were LEGENDS! Don't forget Dennis Smith! Original Orange Crush, GO BRONCOS!!!
ugg, god dammit. the german guy kills it for me right off the bat
I think guy´s like him are the reason we germans are still hated :D
memyselfandmeagain21 😂😂😂
Im german myself and he grinds my gears every time he is in this videos
I know
The only reason Denver won super bowl 50 was not because of manning its because of the No Fly Zone defense one of the best defensive units of all times
I'm pushing 70 and have followed the Broncos since the mid-60s and I even remember that silly bronco on those orange helmets. I took a lot of crap from my school mates. But I stuck with the Broncos anyway. So here's a shout out to players like Floyd Little, Lionel Taylor, Rich Jackson, Jerry Inman, Pete Duranko and others who battled on through those mostly losing seasons.
Floyd Little got snubbed
Floyd Little never played in a Super Bowl. Good running back in the 60s & 70s. The bar for Broncos is way higher now than it was back then.
@@scottglennen2186 W/o Floyd, the franchise would have been sold or flat out collapsed. He SAVED the Broncos.
Its hard to fit him when broncos have alot of greats
SKIIIUPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That champ interception return vs patriots was the first play that I remember watching as a Denver fan
For all you little baby boys born after 1970, Rich “Tombstone” Jackson is the greatest Broncos defensive player ever. In his short career, he made more grown men piss their pants in fear than any other player in NFL history.
Exactly with a nick name of tombstone he was the only bright spot on those teams
1. John Elway
2. Von Miller
3. Shannon Sharpe
4. Champ Bailey
5. Terrelle Davis
6. Steve "The Smiling Assassin" Atwater
7. Peyton Manning
8. Rod Smith
9.. Randy Gradishar
10. Ed McCaffrey
Shahryar Choudhry to rank von at number 2 when he’s still playing is just retarded. Not only that but as a Broncos fan myself I’d never do that until I saw his full career. TD did more in 5 seasons than Von Miller has. That’s something that you don’t see anymore
No Rod Smith?
Forest champ getting burned? Yeah. I dont think so.
Replace von and td with sharpe and smith. Both have had better careers but von will climb over time
Whatever. Y'all can believe what you want. I'm sticking to my opinion that Von Miller is the 2nd greatest Bronco of all time. Defense wins championships, and Von Miller is our modern day Lawrence Taylor.
These old shoulderpads are wild
Im new to football, playing db for two years, and im a broncos fan since then. It really inspiring to see how much defense is a part of our spirit
Just got to say , my wife ,son and myself got to meet Atwater at an autograph signing. What a great guy, first of all, he's huge. Such a cool nice soft spoken dude..
What about Eddie mac? He's my fav bronco
how is eddy mac not on this list
Champ for Hall of Fame! Best corner I’ve ever seen!
1. John Elway

Rod Smith=Greatest undrafted player ever. And bw this is Atwater’s year!
Good List. Honorable mentions: Louis Wright, Dennis Smith, Tom Jackson. Louis Wright should be in the Hall Of Fame! NO ONE wanted to throw against him!
Thanks for the video.❤️👍✅

@@siphonzyno7378 wrong sucka. Most of the claims except the spygate scandal of 2007 were false claims and yes they are. A reporter claimed the pats cheated in 2001 during SB36 but refuted that claim as it wasn't true. Cough you're an idiot cough

Rest in Peace Brody Stevens ❤️
"if you leave now, you get a head start on traffic." hahaha what a legend
Never was a Denver fan but Karl Mecklenberg deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. He is one of the most overlooked players in NFL history.
Floyd Little .....????
I loved Champ Baily growing up. Cant say that enough.
I didnt know enough about the nfl to know I wasnt supposed to make it. Mecklenburg Legend!!!!
dennis smith should be on the list. Peyton did'nt play enough years with denver to be on the list. DS49 was a harder hitter then steve atwater. Atwater gets the recognition because of his hit on okoye. Thurman Thomas said Dennis was the hardest hitter ever, I agree.
steven pueblo you're the only one besides my dad and I who would put Dennis Smith on this list. I can't thumb up this post enough.
Yes! Thank you DS49 is my all time favorite Bronco after Elway of course. Note I said favorite not best. Dennis mentored Atwater like champ mentored Harris. Atwater was very reckless his young years making big hits but not tackles. I'm nearly certain Dennis Smith will introduce Steve into Canton whenever that time comes.
Atwater could effect you the most though
