Playing his college ball at Utah State, Rulon Jones would stay in the mountain region as a pro as his entire career was spent with the Denver Broncos who drafted him in the 2^nd Round in 1980.  Jones played all none of seasons with Denver where he landed the starting Right Defensive End job in 1981 and kept it until 1987 and was part of an active defensive corps that took the Broncos to two straight AFC Titles.  He would go to two Pro Bowls (1985 & 1986) and was a First Team All-Pro in the latter.

While Jake “The Snake” Plummer was supposed to be a star in Arizona for the Cardinals (he was a legend at Arizona State), he would have greater success at Mile High with the Broncos.

Undrafted in 1997 from the University of Colorado, Matt Lepsis would sign with the Denver Broncos where as a rookie he would play a small role in helping the team defend their Super Bowl.  After that season, Lepsis would start 133 of his next 134 Games at Tackle (Right or Left) and filled in on the O-Line where needed.  He would play all ten of his seasons with the Broncos.

A very popular Wide Receiver for the Broncos during their first three Super Bowl appearances in the late 1980s, Mark Jackson was one of John Elway's "Three Amigos" receiving corps.  Jackson never had a 1,000 Yard season but had five with 700 or more.  Jackson would have 276 Receptions, but his most memorable one would be a game-tying Touchdown in the famous "Drive" against the Cleveland Browns in the AFC Championship Game that took Denver to Super Bowl XXII.  Overall, Jackson would net 276 Catches for 4,746 Yards and 24 Touchdowns.
