Top Ten Denver Broncos of all time

[Mingo]

Within the scope of your memory or recollection:

1) John Elway
2) Floyd Little
3) Terrell Davis
4) Steve Atwater
5) Peyton Manning
6) Randy Grandishar
7) Champ Bailey
8) Von Miller
9) Louis Wright
10) Shannon Sharpe

This leaves a lot of deserving players out like: Al Wilson, Rod Smith, Eddie Mac, Billy Thompson, Portis, Paul Smith, Lyle Alzado, Steve Watson, Zimmerman, Stink, Tom Nalen, Tom Jackson, Karl Mechlenburg, and Tim Tebow

Good list
I like to add Jason Elam to the honorable mention list maybe replacing idk Tebow
DT has to be over Eddie Mac

 

[LGM]

I don't disagree with your list, since I wasn't around as long as you were, but I have a difficult time leaving Rod Smith off any top 10 bronco list; all time or otherwise.

Dennis Smith is a very good candidate -- as was Rod Smith. I have snubbed the Smiths!

I went with most talented in most cases, but I did that because I go back to the beginning of the franchise. Others probably didn't see the guys in the 60s and 70s.

I welcome any top ten list of Broncos for any reason.

Jordan Norwood?

 

[LGM]

If we are doing favorites:

Elway
Sharpe (his mouth)
TD
Atwater (that hit on Okoye, knocking himself out in the SB)
Champ
Griffith
Rod Smith
Eddie Mac
Tom Nalen
Trindon Holiday (man, that dude could flat fly).

Jordan Norwood?

Undrafted free agent who was cut four times ( twice by the Browns ) .. Like Reggie Rivers, he comes across as a very nice guy, well spoken and down to earth ..

It was the SB punt return that bumped Chris Harris off my list and put Norwood there ..

Nice guy, great vibe about him

Good job. Was waiting for someone to mention the best FB Denver ever had. Griffith was the man.

I know we didn't have him his whole career but hard for me to leave off Gary Zimmerman. 10 of his 12 seasons was voted 1st or 2nd team All-Pro. Made the All-Decade team for both the 1980's and 1990's. One of the few players if I remember right that Pat Bowlen pretty much came down and told the GM at the time that he will go get this guy.

His toughness in my book is legendary. Greek was telling a story once where during warm ups Zimmerman's shoulder actually slipped out of place. Not sure if any of you have dislocated your shoulder before but man the pain is something you don't forget. Greek went over to Shanahan to tell him Zimmerman wouldn't be able to go to which Zimmerman said "If #7 is on the field, I"ll be there. Don't you worry about me. I'll make it."

I loved Zim and Habib on the left side of our line. Glad he got a ring.
