After playing in the NFL for 12 seasons (with the Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants) Craig Morton signed with the Denver Broncos at age 34 and would go on the best run of his career.  Winning the PFWA Comeback Player of the Year in his first year as a Bronco (1977) and took the Broncos to their first Super Bowl appearance.  Morton never reached the Super Bowl again but would finish third in Pass Completion Percentage twice (1980 & 1981) and had his only 3,000 Yard Passing season in 1981 as a Bronco.  Overall, he would throw for 79 TDs and 11,895 Yards.

Splitting his career evenly between the Washington Redskins and the Denver Broncos, Mark Schlereth’s back nine was spent in Colorado.  Schlereth would switch from Right Guard to Left Guard with Denver, and he would help stable an O-Line that opened up holes for Terrell Davis and protected John Elway.  He assisted the Broncos in winning their first two Super Bowls, which would add to the one he already won with the Washington Redskins.  Schlereth would be named to a Pro Bowl in 1998.

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.
