27. Riley Odoms

Drafted 5th Overall in 1972 from the University of Houston, Riley Odoms would have a very good career in the NFL, which all transpired in Denver.  Odoms was one of the better receiving Tight Ends of his day, and he would be named to four Pro Bowls (1973, 1974, 1975 & 1978) with two of those seasons earning him a First Team All-Pro nod.  He would retire with 396 Receptions for 5,755 Yards and 41 Touchdowns.

25. Jason Elam

Jason Elam was drafted in the 3rd Round in 1993, and it proved to be a high-value selection as the Place Kicker would participate in 236 Games over 15 years as a Denver Bronco.  Elam was a member of the first two Broncos Super Bowl wins, and he would be named to three Pro Bowls (1995, 1998 & 2001) and at one time he co-held the record for the longest Field Goal made with a 63 Yarder.

Elam entered the Broncos Ring of Fame in 2016.
Barney Chavous played his entire career with the Denver Broncos, and it was a long one!  Selected in the 2nd Round of the 1973 Draft, Chavous was a Defensive Tackle as a rookie, and he would move to Defensive End where he would be a starter until he retired after the 1985 season.  Although Chavous has 23.0 official Quarterback Sacks, unofficially he would accrue 75, which is third in franchise history.  He would play 183 Games, starting 178 for Denver.

24. Ed McCaffrey

Ed McCaffrey was the reliable second option for the Denver Broncos for many years, and he was an essential part of the organization's two Super Bowl wins in the late 1990s.  The Wide Receiver would have three straight 1,000 Yard seasons (1998-00), was named to the Pro Bowl in 1998 and had a 101 Reception season in 2000, which was then a team record.  McCaffrey would catch 462 passes for 6,200 Yards and 46 TDs.
