Broncos Trivia

[Mingo]

Who will be the only man in NFL history to have the same retired number on two different teams? Peyton Manning, of course -and no one is going to break that record.

Peyton Manning "thought hard" about signing a one-day contract with the Colts. He didn't.

Peyton retires as a Bronco and number 18 will be retired for two players - Tripuka and Manning.

Having just read Nate Jackson's autobiography, I know he wore #14, #89, and #81 in Denver. So that's my answer.

You my friend are a true Bronco fan

It appears his weight correlated with the dropping of numbers...

Very funny

And by the look of the pics, true !!

I'll add this before DC comes in and spoils the fun with facts:

He was probably considered a WR in #14 and a TE in the 80s

Lucas is correct Jackson went from WR to TE so switched his number... He was 89 and then when someone else (can't remember who) left the team he went from 89 to 81 the next year.

Also Tatum Bell sorta wore 3 jersey numbers in Denver.

He wore #26 his first tenure here. He was given #40 his 2nd time here, he wore #40 his first game back but then they cut Rashaun Molton from the PS and gave Tatum Bell #21 and signed Moulton back to the PS giving him Tatum's #40. I wasn't aware a player could switch numbers during the season until then, but I am guessing they got some special permission since Moulton was on the PS and Bell hadn't played in a game wearing #40 yet.

Tony Carter also wore 3 jersey numbers in Denver.

#37, #25 and #32

However #37 was on the PS.

Shaq Barrett also had 3 jersey numbers in Denver, but never wore any but #48 in an actual regular season game.

So, so far Nate Jackson is the only player I can think of that actually wore 3 different jersey numbers in a regular season game.

Only because Tatum was not active his first week here as he signed right before the game.

Daniel Graham. He was 89, then Graham came in and bought it from him for $15,000. I might not have remembered myself had I not read Jackson's book.

Ahh yes, Stone hands Graham wanted #89.
