More than 40 members of the 1997 Super Bowl team and about 20 members of the Ring of Fame have flocked to Denver this weekend to take part in the celebration of owner Pat Bowlen. On Saturday, many of those former players attended the Broncos’ final practice before Sunday’s game against the 6-0 Packers.
Safety David Bruton addressed the past players on behalf of the 2015 team. And Rod Smith, the team’s all-time leading receiver, spoke to the current players.
Smith reflected on his time playing for Bowlen, and encouraged the current players to keep their focus and take pride in playing for “one of the best people in sports” in coach Gary Kubiak.
