From the University of Tennessee, Al Wilson would win the starting Middle Linebacker job as a rookie for the Denver Broncos, which would be the only team he ever played for.  Wilson would become known in the NFL for his speed and his ability on the pass rush, and from 2001 to 2006 he was named to the Pro Bowl.  He would also be chosen as a First Team All-Pro in the 2005 season, and at the time of his retirement, he would have 714 Combined Tackles and 21.5 Quarterback Sacks.

Gary Zimmerman was a member of the All-Time USFL Team and was a four-time Pro Bowler before his trade to the Denver Broncos where he immediately became the leader of the team's Offensive Line.  The Left Tackle arrived in 1993, and he put on a three-year run of Pro Bowl appearances from 1994 to 1996, the last of which saw him named a First Team All-Pro.  He was a large part of the Broncos first Super Bowl win in the 32^nd contest and that leadership helped Denver in countless ways.  He would retire after that championship win.
