Broncos greatest players of all-time: #36, defensive tackle Lyle Alzado

No name is more controversial in the history of the Denver Broncos than Lyle Alzado.

No doubt, there are some who think Alzado should not even sniff this list, given his ties to the Oakland Raiders and steroid usage. However, when you hear Tom Jackson and Billy Thompson talk about him, there is no Orange Crush defense without Alzado.

That’s why Alzado is No. 36 on the Broncos’ greatest players of all time.

Lyle Alzado's temper on the field made him one of the most-feared players in the game. #BroncosLegends pic.
