I have always been interested in the uniform numbers that players wear.
After all, everybody has a number — great player or special teams reserve.
In fact, Broncos uniform numbers will be the focus of a new segment on my "Denver Broncos Sideline Stories" television show this fall.
One of the most significant historical figures in pro football history was the very first number 11 in Broncos history.
It was back in 1966 when Tobin Rote was signed as a backup quarterback by a real bad Broncos team. Rote wore number 11, played in just three games and completed just three of eight passes before being waived into retirement by Denver.
