49. Bill Bryan

Bill Bryan was drafted in the 4th Round in 1977 from Duke, and he would win the starting Center's job in his second season.  Bryan would start 151 of his 153 Games for Denver, and while he never made a Pro Bowl, he was worthy of consideration in at least five of his years.

42. Matt Lepsis

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.

48. Mark Jackson

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.

43. 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.
