Where Are They Now: Craig Morton

There is no question that the most significant Denver Broncos player to also have played with the New York Giants is Ring of Fame quarterback Craig Morton.

When Craig Morton entered the room, everyone noticed. He had a presence that was at once commanding and elegant.

He came to Denver in a 1977 trade and promptly guided the Broncos to a 12-2 record and home playoff wins against both the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Oakland Raiders on the way to Super Bowl XII.

Morton had been a No. 1 draft choice of the Dallas Cowboys after a great career at Cal, and the quarterback-rich Cowboys traded to him the New York Giants before he subsequently came to Denver.
