We’ve beaten the quarterback discussion to death this week, so I decided to look for a different topic to discuss this fine Saturday morning. The Denver Broncos have retired just three jersey numbers in its 60+ year history. The last true retirement was in 1999 when John Elway hang ‘em up, but technically #18 was borrowed and re-retired for Peyton Manning in 2015.
- #18 - Frank Tripucka / Peyton Manning
- #44 - Floyd Little
- #7 - John Elway
The Broncos have plenty of players in their Ring of Fame, but the jersey retirement is a rare generational event.
