00:09Hey, wing it in there! We need to get in the end zone, alright? Keep your hands in, no mistakes.
00:14People think the Broncos started with Elway, but there was a whole history before that.
00:22There's some great, great... The Broncos organization's amazing.
00:26Gosh, I mean, you're doing this list, I'm going, man, the Broncos are nuts.
00:30I'm great.
00:34Here we go.
00:42With three Lombardi trophies.
00:44This one's for John.
00:47Eight AFC championships.
00:49We need as many men as you can bear, because we are killing the Patriots.
00:53It's 19-7.
00:54It's our division! It's our division!
00:57The Broncos are alpha dogs of the NFL.
01:02A record-setting was by Peyton Manning his 51st touchdown pass.
01:07Denver was also home to one of the greatest underdog stories in league history.
01:12There's only one person that carries the ball right here!
01:15Tim Tebow has a Bronco touchdown!
01:18It's over at Denver!
01:20Can he throw a football? Not so great, but he's always winning the games.
01:25He's like grandma in the Vegas, who's like, a one-armed bandit, I'm a million, how did I do?
01:30No, I'm grandma at the one-armed bandit.
01:34Limiting our list to ten Denver legends was a mile-high task.
01:41We'll let you know up front that Jay Cutler didn't make the cut.
01:47Are you serious?
01:50That's horrible! I mean, that's horrible!
01:53Cutler's gotta be in the top five.
01:56Jay's not on our list.
01:58What?
01:58He's not on our top ten, so please voice your displeasure at Jay Cutler not being on the list.
02:02That's insane.
02:04Jay Cutler went to the Pro Bowl.
02:08Yes, Jay Cutler made a single Pro Bowl, but our list has Broncos who made multiple trips to Hawaii.
02:15There's not one thing they've done to stop us, right?
02:18Or had a big impact in a short period of time.
02:26Our number ten Bronco is just getting warmed up and is already a franchise great.
02:32You're the place I'd rather be.
02:44I like a man named Vaughn.
02:46In Germany, Vaughn is a middle name like Thomas von Humboldt, you know.
02:50He's silent Vaughn Miller, which I like.
02:54So when I say his name, I always go, Vaughn Miller.
02:59Vaughn Miller.
03:01I would put Vaughn Miller even higher than ten.
03:04Because when you think about it, they don't win that Super Bowl without Vaughn Miller.
03:10He was the very best on the defense that was the best.
03:13The ball is free!
03:15Three Super Bowl wins.
03:16Three players are responsible for those wins.
03:18John Elway, Terrell Davis, and Vaughn Miller.
03:21As such, Vaughn Miller should be number three, not number ten on the list.
03:27How is Vaughn Miller only number ten on this list?
03:30Ooh, that's pretty low, right, for Vaughn Miller?
03:33I think he's the best pass rusher in the NFL.
03:34He's like already a Hall of Famer.
03:37Completely wrong.
03:39Number ten, I can't think of nine other Broncos I would have in front of Vaughn Miller.
03:43Welcome to the party, Vaughn Miller.
03:46He was already a five-time All-Pro.
03:48He was already a Super Bowl MVP.
03:54He did worse on this list than he did on Dancing with the Stars.
03:59Our number ten Bronco finished tied for seventh on Dancing with the Stars.
04:04One spot behind Full House star Jody Sweeten.
04:09Yeah, it's tough that he lost to Stephanie Tanner in a dance competition.
04:13But Stephanie Tanner can't get around a left tackle.
04:18Vaughn Miller just laying over the tackle.
04:21Tom Brady has nightmares, and I guarantee you the guy who's starring in those nightmares is Vaughn Miller.
04:29The most incredible play I've seen was his interception of Tom Brady in the AFC Championship.
04:39I feel like Vaughn Miller's the type of guy that says,
04:42if I have idle time, something bad is going to happen.
04:45He's basically like my children.
04:47Like, he just has to be programmed all the time.
04:50Like, what are we doing?
04:50What are we doing?
04:51I'm going to do some coke energy out of you.
04:54What is that?
04:58The Super Bowl 50 MVP was the third fastest of 50 career sacks in NFL history.
05:07But he has three fewer followers than Tim Tebow.
05:12Luckily for Vaughn, our list isn't based solely on dance competitions and social media.
05:17Fame talent, that's where he'll be when it's all said and done.
05:21This career is still going like this.
05:23I think when it's all said and done, he'll probably be in like the top three.
05:26We haven't heard what all he can do.
05:28It's time for Mr. Miller to bump himself up on that list.
05:37The Mile High City doesn't just have iconic players.
05:41It has legendary.
05:43The number nine Bronco of all time, Carl Mecklenburg.
05:49Mecklenburg.
05:50I haven't heard that name in years.
05:57Do you know his nickname?
05:59Meck?
06:01Oops.
06:03The Albino Rhino.
06:05Like, Carl Mecklenburg sounds like one of the terrorists from Die Hard.
06:10When you're named Carl Mecklenburg, you're not doing anyone's taxes in April.
06:14You're a six-time All-Pro, crunching running backs and quarterbacks for a living.
06:19I'm guessing they ran the name Albino Rhino by Carl before they actually started calling him that,
06:24because you don't want to get that guy upset at you.
06:26But you talk about a guy that just wrecked things.
06:28I mean, from when he came into the league, I think it's a fitting nickname.
06:36When you look at a 12th round pick, even back then you were thinking,
06:40okay, this guy's not legitimately going to make an impact on our team,
06:44which just goes to prove nobody knows anything.
06:47You know, I really didn't know enough about the NFL to know that I wasn't supposed to make it.
06:55Mecklenburg, yeah, I mean, he was pretty vicious. He was a bad dude.
07:05I got punched in the in the box, so be careful in there.
07:08They're not fooling around.
07:09A bad dude that was going to Pro Bowls every single year, and no matter where they put him in
07:14that 3-4 configuration, was a force to be wrecking.
07:18We're a wrecking crew. Back in the 80s, that's orange crush defense.
07:22People are painting their houses orange, and it was crazy. I've never seen anything like it.
07:27Besides his over 1,000 tackles and 79 sacks, what set Mecklenburg apart was his ability to do it all.
07:36Just a fierce player who could play any position.
07:40A guy that did a lot of multiple things a little bit ahead of his time for what we see
07:45now, a lot of guys that do that.
07:47Oh, defense end, defensive tackle, linebacker, whatever it may be. Mecklenburg could do all those kind of things.
07:52Anytime you can be versatile and be used in different positions, you're much more valuable to the team.
08:02There was a game where he played seven positions. Basically every position but safety or cornerback.
08:07You know, the guy was like duct tape. You could use him for everything, and they did.
08:14Yeah, you could say that.
08:15A guy that I think never quite got the credit he deserves because they didn't win the Super Bowl while
08:21he was there.
08:22I think that we just got in some bad matchups. We got in situations where we've taken advantage of.
08:28He led that orange crush defense.
08:30So yeah, I think he deserves to be on the list. Very underappreciated player.
08:34If you're not from the Denver area, and you're not over the age of 40, I don't think you understand
08:42how big of a defensive player Carl Mecklenburg was for the Denver Broncos.
08:47Who else do we got on the top 10 greatest names?
08:51The number eight Bronco of all time, Randy Gratishar.
08:56Too low.
09:00Similar to Carl Mecklenburg, our number eight Bronco is an overlooked member of the orange crush
09:06who never won a Super Bowl and perennially falls short in the Hall of Fame voting.
09:13You don't push me up. Just catch the ball.
09:17But unlike the Albino Rhino, Randy Gratishar didn't have a catchy nickname.
09:22He just racked up tackle after tackle.
09:26200 tackles for anyone is almost unheard of.
09:31Randy Gratishar averaged 200 tackles a season for a decade.
09:36200 tackles a year for 10 years, those are the kind of numbers that Hall of Famers put up.
09:41He was absolutely the engine of one of the greatest defenses in NFL history.
09:46Bronco recovery! Here comes Gratishar!
09:48He should be in the Hall of Fame, there's no question about it.
09:51You can make a countdown of the top 10 Broncos defenders who were snubbed by the Hall of Fame.
09:56In fact, this is almost that list. Top 10 Broncos snubbed by the Hall of Fame.
10:00That's who these guys are.
10:05Gratishar's lunch bill mentality and orange and blue collar work ethic has been overshadowed by the more iconic NFL personas
10:13of his day.
10:14And even his own teammates.
10:17People think about that defense and they just think about the orange crush.
10:21Think about them as a whole.
10:23I mean, think about Lyle Alzado because he's kind of this larger than life personality.
10:30You know, I think of Tommy Jackson because Tommy Jackson was a good player.
10:35And Gratishar kind of gets a little bit lost.
10:40Randy Gratishar was an all-time great middle linebacker on a par with Mike Singletary, Ray Lewis, Brian Perlacher.
10:47He wasn't a butt kisser or a Ray Nitsch here at Jack Lambert.
10:51That wasn't his game. He was smart.
10:53And maybe that's one of the reasons he's not as well regarded because he didn't have missing teeth and he
10:58didn't do all that crazy stuff.
11:00He was just exactly where he needed to be.
11:03Try and intimidate other ballplayers on the opposing team through verbal communication.
11:08I just don't do that. That's not part of my game.
11:10And I feel that my strongest part of my game is my mental outlook.
11:14Quick count. They'll just be up.
11:17And it's a little bit longer.
11:18So start watching that.
11:19And then that way you can get up in there.
11:22If you watch that team week in and week out, the best player in that defense was Randy Gratishar.
11:28Gratishar ranks with any linebacker that played at that time.
11:31In their story history, the Broncos haven't had...
11:34Number seven Bronco of all time.
11:36Rod Smith.
11:38I mean, I know he's undrafted.
11:40He didn't get drafted, right?
11:42Rod Smith, one of the greatest undrafted players of all time.
11:46Right.
11:46When he played for John Elway, he was John's favorite target, or he and Shannon Sharp.
11:51John lost one down the last stop line.
11:53Rod Smith, touchdown!
11:55Yeah!
11:56Hey!
11:57I'm dancing the bell. Way to go!
11:59It's undrafted.
12:00Great. Three Pro Bowls in 13 seasons, and that's better than seven and 11?
12:06I don't think so.
12:07Guy, to make that transition and be as dominant as he was, maybe the best receiver in the ESC
12:12for a good stretch there in the 90s and into the 2000s.
12:18Touchdown, Denver!
12:19He's perfectly suited right there at number seven.
12:24Who are the scouts that are missing these guys?
12:26Where did he go to school?
12:29Like Belleville Area College?
12:30Uh, I can't think of what, I'm blanking on the school right now.
12:36Missouri Southern.
12:37Not very good at football.
12:40Go Lions.
12:43He kept a $1 food stamp in his wallet.
12:48Always kept it in there just to remind himself of where he came from.
12:51He just played like a guy without a father.
12:54Always trying to prove that he's worthy of having a family.
12:58You have a chip on your shoulder, you got something to prove.
13:01Rod Smith had a chip as big as the Rockies on his shoulder.
13:08You can lose your job.
13:10It's not good.
13:10You got a 14-point lead.
13:12You should have a 28-point lead.
13:14First go catch with a...
13:24Two first-round choices after my first year,
13:27knowing that we would go with Rod Smith.
13:28You don't do that as a head coach in your second year
13:31unless you've got a lot of confidence in somebody.
13:33Kudos to him for keeping him around and recognizing the talent he had.
13:39Everyone, when they start discussing Elway's great supporting cast
13:42in the late 90s, brings up Terrell Davis first.
13:45It was Terrell Davis to the left.
13:47It was Terrell Davis to the right.
13:49No one talks enough about Rod Smith.
13:51And then it was play action deep down the field
13:53to Rod Smith or Shannon Sharp.
13:56You need to be here with me when I go to my locker
13:58to show you them two Super Bowls games.
14:00Before you start talking trash, you need to get some hardware.
14:03Rod Smith says that Super Bowl XXXII was his favorite game as a Bronco.
14:08He had zero catches in that game.
14:10He blocked the whole time.
14:12And I thought, yeah, that sort of tells you something about Rod Smith
14:15and about his priorities and what kind of teammate he is.
14:19The fact that he...
14:20No, that's just silly.
14:22They won by more points in the next Super Bowl
14:26and he had a better game.
14:29He loves a game where he never caught the ball.
14:34He's a three-time Pro Bowler.
14:35He was the leading receiver on both Super Bowl teams.
14:38He rewrote Broncos record books.
14:40In 1997, he had over 1,100 yards.
14:43In 1998, over 1,200 yards.
14:46Without a top receiver like that,
14:48I'm not sure how the rest of that offense operates.
14:50Rod Smith, Denver touchdown!
14:53They don't win those two Super Bowls
14:55and the end of Elway's career without Rod Smith.
15:00Rod Smith was a pure Bronco.
15:02He's a Broncos ring of famer.
15:03He's a guy that loves the city.
15:04He's on the sidelines at every game.
15:08I mean, he's almost like a mascot for the team.
15:10Smith easily snagged a spot on our list,
15:13but there's one thing he can't get his hands on.
15:16He's not even coming here right here.
15:17A spot in the Hall of Fame.
15:19He doesn't belong in the Hall of Fame.
15:21He's never up for Hall of Fame consideration
15:22because his numbers weren't as good
15:24as these wide receiver numbers are now,
15:26but he certainly should be.
15:28I think he should get Hall of Fame consideration
15:29because he was just so great for so many years,
15:32big in big games.
15:33He was really a big, underrated part of that championship team.
15:36He is the best receiver in franchise history
15:38to get the respect, to even make the team,
15:40let alone to be a franchise player,
15:43an all-decade kind of player.
15:44He certainly isn't getting the love
15:45from the Hall of Fame voters that he should.
15:47Kind of an amazing career
15:49for a guy that kind of came out of nowhere.
15:54The number six Bronco of all time,
15:57Steve Atwater.
16:01He's, you know, I did a, where are they now,
16:0410 years later, so this is 07,
16:07he would not talk to me.
16:09Steve Atwater's hits spoke plenty.
16:13Steve Atwater has highlight after highlight.
16:16Boom.
16:17Boom.
16:18Boom.
16:20Boom.
16:21And for Atwater to come in,
16:25boom.
16:29Showtime.
16:30Showtime, baby.
16:30Showtime in the my house.
16:31In the NFC.
16:33And Steve Atwater was the baddest dude in the AFC.
16:36Okay.
16:37Don't get mad at me, you know.
16:39Take your head on the floor.
16:42Well, the AFC was a joke of a conference back then,
16:45so that doesn't mean much.
16:52Atwater was possibly the best safety in the AFC
16:55in the late 80s and early 90s.
16:58But the fact that he doesn't have a gold jacket is crazy.
17:01He has one now.
17:04The eye test.
17:07He's out there for a few years.
17:08The first image that comes to my head,
17:09I can remember as a little kid still sitting
17:11watching Monday Night Football
17:12and him knocking the crap out of Christian Okoye.
17:15The Nigerian nightmare ran over everyone in his path.
17:19That is, until he met Atwater.
17:27Atwater is like a cam chancellor of this day and age.
17:30Just a guy that he was almost like having an extra linebacker
17:32in run defense.
17:35I mean, nobody had done that to Christian Okoye to that moment.
17:38You never saw Christian Okoye move backwards.
17:41We're talking about a 200 running back
17:43colliding in that car crash
17:45of a collision
17:46in Atwater's.
17:47Something was going on at home when that hit happened.
17:50Like, there was like somebody bumped him early
17:52that didn't get bumped or this person.
17:54Come my way.
17:56I'm making him look like they're sitting down
17:58in an imaginary chair.
18:04Like, you're a nightmare, I am.
18:09And that's embarrassing.
18:10You're the Nigerian nightmare
18:11and you get naughty.
18:12Keep your nickname.
18:13You should just be changed to good.
18:15That's what it should be.
18:16Now you're good.
18:16No, man.
18:17Even the guy's teammate
18:21had to kind of give him a congratulatory pat like that.
18:25That was pretty good.
18:27And they're rivals.
18:30No, nothing.
18:31He's got naughty.
18:32You know you're good when a rival
18:35gives you props after a play.
18:39Peyton Manning?
18:41For him to be number
18:42is a little suspect.
18:45But I don't know what you guys do this.
18:46Four years.
18:46Peyton Manning.
18:47You also saw him kind of deteriorate
18:49and he couldn't throw a touchdown field anymore.
18:52Quick throw, pass intercepting.
18:54That's why he's out of town.
18:56He's gone.
18:58He's doing commercials.
18:59Did you forget what happened in 2013?
19:02The man was lights out.
19:06His 51st touchdown pass of the year.
19:09Congratulations.
19:13No, that was the start of something really...
19:17For 2013.
19:18Manning is good to the guy who froze.
19:20He's got Thomas again.
19:21He's open.
19:21And Thomas is into the end zone.
19:2310 for a touchdown.
19:24Manning is hitting everybody now.
19:27Put it up, man.
19:30Haven't touched it.
19:31Really?
19:32Any guess who was playing against him in fantasy that night?
19:35Time to end, though.
19:37Yes, and touchdown.
19:42In 2013, Manning rewrote the record books.
19:46Manning, significant NFL records to be broken.
19:49The touchdown record as well as the passing yards record.
19:52Decker, touchdown Denver.
19:54He's got Joey Thomas there.
19:57Thomas with the touchdown.
19:58And there's the record.
20:02He's more of a Colt than he is a Denver Bronco.
20:04I mean, with his legacy.
20:07Top 10 Colt?
20:09Top 10 Bronco?
20:10Top 10 all-time?
20:12Let the debate continue.
20:16I just feel like his best work was done in Indy.
20:18But, as a Denver Bronco, in his last year, he got a Super Bowl ring.
20:24They won a Super Bowl, but it was almost in spite of you.
20:30We did have that right off into the sunset moment.
20:35And so I think there's an appreciation there.
20:37Peyton looks right, throws right.
20:39And the two-play conversion is good.
20:40Peyton Manning is gone.
20:44Beat his place.
20:46Remember, Tim Tebow was the savior in Denver.
20:50I remember.
20:51Absolutely.
20:52The only guy who could replace him is Peyton Manning, and we wouldn't complain in Denver.
20:58Our God is an awesome guy.
21:02He had another amazing run.
21:04I just don't know if I'm ready to make him the top five Bronco of all time.
21:07He did go to two Super Bowls.
21:09So, as I'm talking to myself here, I'm going, you know what?
21:11He probably does deserve to be in the top five.
21:13I don't even care that it was short.
21:15I mean, he broke the NFL touchdown record when he was there.
21:18Yes, they lost the Super Bowl, but they won one, too.
21:20Happy to be my quarterback, man.
21:22I'm happy I'm Mitch.
21:22Thank you, buddy.
21:23When they got Peyton Manning, that put them over the edge.
21:26The number four Bronco of all time, Champ Bailey.
21:32Let's go today, baby.
21:34How you got it?
21:34Let's bleed the whole day, all right, man?
21:36All day.
21:36That's what we do.
21:37All day.
21:40Champ Bailey was like, you just couldn't throw him the day, ever.
21:45And it felt like he played forever.
21:47What do you say, old man?
21:48Let's go.
21:49Oh, yeah.
21:49How long are you going to do this?
21:51What is this?
21:53What is this, 15?
21:5415.
21:54Oh, yeah.
21:56Champ Bailey played 15 seasons and made 12 Pro Bowls the most ever for a cornerback.
22:04With his ninth interception of the season for the all-pro corner,
22:08who just might be the best defensive player in the game today.
22:13Hey, this is only beginning, fellas.
22:15But our number four Bronco only ranks 26th on the all-time interception list,
22:21right behind Deion Sanders.
22:24When you talk about guys that like...
22:26So what you're saying is he intercepted one less pass than the consensus greatest corner of all time.
22:33Is that supposed to be a not?
22:35Because it's not.
22:38Had their island.
22:39We talk about Rivas Island or Deion Sanders.
22:41Champ Bailey was in that conversation.
22:46The only reason his interception numbers weren't better is because offenses were so scared to throw to Champ Bailey.
22:51It's the old Deion Sanders line, right?
22:53There's other corners that maybe got more hype in his era because Champ's not a big talker.
22:58We just gotta...
22:59We ain't talking fast enough.
23:01He's kind of like the anti-new-age defensive back when it comes to wanting to be a me, me,
23:07me player,
23:08you know, having celebrations, talking a whole lot.
23:10That wasn't Champ Bailey.
23:11That's how you close a game now.
23:13Savagery had his fun.
23:15Y'all thought this was a match-up.
23:17Mismash.
23:27I like Champ Bailey because his nickname, Champ.
23:30That's one of those nicknames that tells you exactly what the person is.
23:34Like, if that's like if I was like, yeah, I'm fantastic, love, or free, that's my thing.
23:39Nice to meet you.
23:42Hey, I don't know what the hell going on.
23:45Yeah, me either.
23:472006 divisional game.
23:48He gets the big 99-yard interception.
23:50Has to be intercepted.
23:51Champ Bailey in the end zone.
23:53Down the sideline.
23:54And got run down by Ben Watson.
23:55How could you get run down by Ben Watson?
23:57Why did he get there?
23:59He's hit out of bounds.
24:00I'm an offensive player.
24:01And I'm most known for a defensive play.
24:04For a tackle.
24:06You want to be known for all these things, and then God says no, you're going to be known.
24:09Yeah, you know what?
24:13But that was the first team to ever send home Brady.
24:17On for this.
24:18Our guy is an awesome guy here.
24:25Fellas, let's stand up now.
24:26Let's go.
24:27There is only one defensive player from Denver enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
24:33Our number four Bronco could become the second.
24:36What a play.
24:38Champ Bailey should be a Hall of Famer, but he's a Broncos defender, so who knows what'll happen.
24:42Maybe we'll forget about him in five years, and he'll be with everybody else on this list who's not a
24:46Hall of Famer.
24:47Yes, I'm hot about this.
24:48The Broncos have gotten disrespected by the Hall of Fame.
24:51Champ Bailey was certain.
24:52He, Champ Bailey was so great, he went to the Hall of Fame first ballot as a Bronco defender.
25:00Nobody would be putting on a gold jacket at the first opportunity in 2019.
25:05Come on!
25:07Unfortunately, our list is only for players, so you won't see one of the most innovative offenses.
25:13The number three Bronco of all time, Shannon Sharpe.
25:21I forgot my helmet.
25:24I'm about to pull a Thurman Chalmers.
25:27When our number three Bronco retired, he was the all-time leader for a tight end in every major receiving
25:34category.
25:35He could make a strong argument for number two.
25:38He was a great part of those championship teams.
25:45He's the first version of what we're seeing this day and age in the NFL.
25:48The pass-catching tight end.
25:49The guy that can line up a slot receiver.
25:52Touchdown, Shannon Sharpe!
25:53But yet, also be the traditional tight end and block people down the line of scrimmage.
26:00Now you're blocking!
26:01Now you're blocking!
26:03Over 60 touchdowns and 10,000 receiving yards.
26:06And still none of it as impressive as Shannon Sharpe's ability to deal with Skip Bayless on a daily basis.
26:21I remember Shannon Sharpe, but then there's also Sterling Sharpe, who was with the Packers.
26:27I'm the best, Sterling.
26:29I'm better than you are, you know it.
26:31And then he's like, I'm bored or injured maybe.
26:34I'm going to leave.
26:35And then Shannon's like, there's only one Sharpe, I must be even more sharper.
26:40Shannon Sharpe's records were eventually surpassed by Tony Gonzalez, but his mouth remains second to none.
26:47Where do they get a load of me?
26:49If you leave now, you get a half-dunnel track.
26:52Down goes Frazier!
26:54It's a shame they made him wear a face mask, but that giant mouth of his, he could have caught
26:58every ball.
27:00Keep it going, we gotta catch everything, baby!
27:02He's not only a great player, but he was a f***ing talker.
27:05I think if you wanted to tackle him back in the day, you should have just thrown big words in
27:08front of him.
27:10Undisputed!
27:11Heavyweight champion of the world!
27:13He makes words come out that you can kind of figure out what he's saying.
27:17Rain is on, baby!
27:18Rain is on, baby!
27:22Willie Williams ran.
27:23You down, yeah, I know.
27:25Bird ran out front of Willie Williams.
27:27Oh, I know.
27:28So, you know what that means.
27:32That was the best part about Shannon Sharpe.
27:34He talked all that trash and then backed it up, which infuriated teams like the Patriots.
27:38Let's call the president!
27:39President, we need a national guard.
27:41We need as many men as you can spare, because we are killing the Patriots.
27:45What I want to know is, in that clip, who is he talking to?
27:48There's a guy who has to answer it, and it's like, okay, you're the intern who has to listen to
27:53Shannon Sharpe this game.
27:54And this poor, like, 22-year-old guy named Chad has to be like, this is Chad.
27:58We're killing him!
27:59We're killing him!
28:01They need emergency help!
28:02Please, help these folks!
28:04Shannon's on the sideline calling the president, and the guy's like, hello?
28:08I'm here to talk about the replays!
28:11Why are you calling me?
28:12This isn't a joke!
28:13This is my job!
28:14Help!
28:14Help!
28:16Okay, okay, you got it.
28:17I'll be on it, man.
28:18He coming!
28:22B-R-O-N-C-O-N!
28:24Broncos, Broncos, Broncos, Broncos, Broncos!
28:26After winning Super Bowls 32 and 33 with Denver, Sharp won Super Bowl 35 with Baltimore.
28:34Love that.
28:34What up, baby?
28:35Yeah, baby.
28:36You doing good, man?
28:36You doing good, man?
28:37But Sharp...
28:39They beat the Broncos to do it, which I'm sure Shannon Sharp was happy about.
28:47But he came back.
28:49Prove once a Bronco, always a Bronco, by returning to Denver to be a veteran leader during the post-Elway
28:57era.
28:57Throws to the middle, Sharp's got it on the list!
28:59Shoot it, 4-8!
29:01Truly a special talent.
29:02Touchdown, Denver!
29:03Sometimes I think he gets lost in the conversation for greatest tight ends ever.
29:07Shannon Sharp was just a great player.
29:08He really revolutionized the position.
29:10He would definitely disagree that he's number three, but I do think that's about right for him.
29:14Our Hall of Famer, Shannon Sharp!
29:20Floyd Little was a star running back in Denver and became the Broncos' all-time leading rusher.
29:26Oh, man.
29:27So why wasn't a Hall of Fame jacket enough?
29:30He had 52 TDs, but he just ain't TD.
29:35Why is Carl Mecklenburg on the list if he's not on the list?
29:41The number two Bronco of all-time, Terrell Davis.
29:58There was a stretch for about three years where Terrell Davis was the best player in football.
30:02He won an MVP.
30:03He rushed for 2,000 yards.
30:05Terrell Davis was as dominant a player as the league has ever seen.
30:09He only did it for six years and really four where he was dominant.
30:13But those four years you could put up against anyone in the history of the game,
30:16and Terrell Davis' numbers will match or exceed them.
30:19A lot of people forget that those were running teams with the Broncos.
30:23Some of the greatest Broncos teams were ground-based teams.
30:27Those running teams, even with John Elway at quarterback.
30:31So I don't know who else you could put at number two.
30:35You'd have to put Terrell at number two.
30:39I think other than Jerry Rice, Terrell Davis is the best non-quarterback in playoff history.
30:45In a postseason, he averaged 143 yards rushing.
30:51Touchdown!
30:51This guy carried them to championships.
30:53He was the key piece, not John Elway.
30:55He wins the Super Bowl.
30:56There's no victory over the Packers without Terrell Davis.
30:59That Super Bowl performance against Green Bay, that's one of the best I think we're ever going to see.
31:04Went 157 yards, three touchdowns, the juke, the spin on Eugene Robinson.
31:11Go back and watch him in Super Bowl XXXII.
31:13Those 158-ish yards that he makes are all man-style runs.
31:18I mean, there's nothing easy about anything he's doing there.
31:21It's not about him being elusive.
31:22He's running against a really good Packers defense, and they're tough yards.
31:32Elway handoff Davis into the end zone.
31:34Touchdown!
31:35Yeah!
31:37But he and Mike race the whole time.
31:41Watch out.
31:42Can't see.
31:42Okay.
31:43Whenever I had a girlfriend, and she would say she had a headache, and we can't go out or do
31:49other things,
31:50I just put on the tape of Terrell Davis winning the Super Bowl with a headache.
31:57The cops are pounding in Denver.
31:59Nobody but Terrell here.
32:01Come on, hit it!
32:01Are you really going to use this as an excuse?
32:05Davis, it is a rocking standing up!
32:08Can you say Denver is in the lead?
32:13That offensive line was nasty.
32:16He's behind Elway, by himself, he takes the handoff, running left.
32:19Terrell breaks a tackle.
32:21He's got it!
32:22There it is!
32:24Terrell Davis!
32:26He's just become only the fourth player in NFL history to go over 2,000 yards in a single season.
32:34I know Elway was decent.
32:36If he doesn't carry those teams to the Super Bowl on his back running for 2,000 yards,
32:41Elway is never winning a Super Bowl.
32:43And then he's in that Marino category, which is ones that didn't get it done.
32:51He was the best player on two Super Bowl teams.
32:56Had his career not been cut short by injury, we might be talking about Terrell Davis challenging Emmitt Smith for
33:02the all-time rushing record.
33:03Terrell Davis is perfect at number two.
33:08Terrell Davis is perfect at number one Bronco of all time.
33:11Number one.
33:12This is it.
33:14Tim Tebow's last chance to make our list of greatest Broncos.
33:19He was doing a nice thing.
33:20He was having a very wonderful pose.
33:22Strike a pose is what Madonna said 25 years ago, and nobody listened.
33:26Nobody listened to Madonna until Timothy Tebow did it.
33:30I like Tim Tebow, and that year was unbelievable.
33:34But you can't put Tim Tebow on this list.
33:36Tim Tebow had a cup of coffee in Denver.
33:38He's now a legendary Bronco.
33:40He won one playoff game.
33:41But it's the same way as when a child hits a half-court shot.
33:45Like, bar!
33:46Bar!
33:47Bar!
33:48Sorry to Timmy and all the Tebow maniacs out there.
33:52But when it comes to the number one spot on our countdown.
33:56This one's for John.
33:59I don't think any player defines an organization as thoroughly as John Elway defines the Broncos.
34:05John Elway is not only the Denver Broncos, he's Colorado.
34:07He could run for governor tomorrow and win in a landslide.
34:12That's the greatest Bronco ever.
34:13I'm going to stand for a big one.
34:14But that's like comparing a human to God.
34:18I mean, it's not even fair.
34:21I've got to say Elway.
34:22Like, you've got to, like...
34:25You think I'm going with Brian Greasy?
34:27If you think there was going to be a different number one, then you don't know football and you don't
34:30know the Denver Broncos.
34:31If you told me somebody else was number one on the list, I would probably get physical.
34:36That's a way to fight!
34:38It has to be Jonathan Elway.
34:41Or Kerry Kittles, who played for Villanova and then the New Jersey Nets.
34:46And then, I don't know if you know, he played just 18 seconds as free safety for the Broncos in
34:511997.
34:52I did not know that.
34:54Yeah.
34:55Are you serious?
34:56All your hard job will come out of the spot!
35:00Most people remember our number one Bronco capping his career with back-to-back Super Bowls.
35:06Man, I thought this was just a picture or something.
35:08But John Elway, Denver on his back for 16 seasons, 9 Pro Bowls, 5 AFC championships, and countless comebacks.
35:17The Broncos have gone 98 yards.
35:21One of the greatest arms in the history of the league.
35:23Maybe the greatest arm.
35:25He did things with the football that few humans could ever do.
35:29Well, what can you say?
35:30Only Elway can pull that off.
35:32Are you ready for a heater?
35:35But the signature play of his entire career is him sort of wobbling and then flipping through the air to
35:43save the Super Bowl.
35:44Head first!
35:45He dies!
35:46Oh, that's a five-yard line!
35:47That moment, the Hull got played.
35:49That probably is the greatest play in Broncos history.
35:52When our number one Bronco retired, he was the NFL's winningest quarterback.
35:59He is one of the all-time greatest, not because he got those two at the end of his career.
36:04Rather, because he took those three teams in the 80s to Super Bowls.
36:08Those teams had no business getting anywhere near a Super Bowl.
36:13Two of those teams had the seventh or first-ranked defense.
36:18Here we go with this.
36:20Come on, Bobby!
36:20Set a hot!
36:21Let's go!
36:22Come on!
36:23See you later!
36:23Set a hot!
36:23Let's go!
36:24We gotta get up and get set!
36:25His best receiver was Vance Johnson.
36:28Vance Johnson?
36:29His running back was Sammy Winder.
36:32Sammy Winder was the feature back on a three-time representative from the AFC in the Super Bowl.
36:38And John Elway took them to those Super Bowls.
36:44There's no debate.
36:45John Elway is the greatest Bronco of all time.
36:48And it wasn't even close.
36:51Don't let him, man!
36:54It's Johnson Elway.
36:55He was so sassy and cool.
36:56And, hey, guys, I'm a cowboy.
36:57Bang, bang, sling, sling, toss, toss.
36:59I'm going to lose all the time.
37:00And then I win.
37:00And then he leaves as he wins.
37:02You cannot beat this.
