44. Steve Watson

Steve Watson played his entire career with the Denver Broncos, which would work out to 126 Games over nine seasons, a pretty good number for an undrafted player out of Temple.  The Wide Receiver would have three 1,000 Yard Receiving Seasons, all of which were good enough to get him ranked in the top ten.  The first of those, 1981, would see him earn his only Pro Bowl Selection and lead the NFL Touchdown Receptions with 13.  Watson would catch 353 Passes for 6,112 Yards with 36 TDs.

38. Lyle Alzado

One of the most well-known defensive players of his day, Lyle Alzado was more recognized with the Oakland Raiders but his best years and most extended years were with the Denver Broncos.  With Denver, Alzado would be a First Team All-Pro in 1977, and he was a Pro Bowl Selection that year and the one after.  The Defensive End would notably lead the NFL in Fumble Recoveries in 1972.

21. Rich Jackson

Rich Jackson was traded from the Oakland Raiders after his rookie season and from 1968 to 1970, the Defensive End would be considered among the best Defensive Ends in Professional Football.  In those three seasons, he was named a First Team All-Pro and AFL All-Star, and while he was not in the AFL for very long, he was named a Second Team All-Team Selection.  Jackson, who was the master of the now illegal "head slap" unofficially had 10 or more Quarterback Sacks in those years and the man named "Tombstone" will never be forgotten in the state of Colorado.

Tombstone's reign as a star was brief, but more than enough to enter the Bronco's RIng of Fame as part of their first class in 1984.
