A late round pick in 1987, Tyrone Braxton would become a starting Cornerback in 1989. His career was up and down, and he was released after 1993 as one of the many scapegoats for a bad Broncos season.

Braxton would return in 1995 and would have a better run than his first. The Defensive Back would be a large part of the Broncos back-to-back Super Bowl wins in the late, and he would be named to the Pro Bowl in 1996. That year he would lead the National Football League in interceptions with 9. He would retire in 1999, and he netted 34 picks with 614 in Interception Return Yards.
