This is no surprise.
When we started the list of the top 50 greatest players in Denver Broncos history, everyone knew who would come in at No. 1.
John Elway is not only the greatest player in franchise history, he’s one of the best quarterbacks to ever throw a football in the NFL.
Without Elway, the Broncos wouldn’t become one of the most successful franchises in professional sports. Beyond the stats on the field, he led Denver to five Super Bowls, three of which he put on his back and put them there.
