Although New Year's Day is usually a cause for celebration, it will always be a sombering day for the Denver Broncos and their fans and players. New Year's Day commemorates the murder of Broncos' cornerback Darrent Williams, who was just 24 years old at the time of his death.
Today marks 13 years since the tragic shooting of young Darrent Williams, who had so much promise in his NFL career and in his personal life; he left two young children behind at his passing.
Although I was just 11 years old when I woke up to the horrible news on ESPN on New Year's Day, it is a morning that I will never forget.
