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.

23. Al Wilson

From the University of Tennessee, Al Wilson would win the starting Middle Linebacker job as a rookie for the Denver Broncos, which would be the only team he ever played for.  Wilson would become known in the NFL for his speed and his ability on the pass rush, and from 2001 to 2006 he was named to the Pro Bowl.  He would also be chosen as a First Team All-Pro in the 2005 season, and at the time of his retirement, he would have 714 Combined Tackles and 21.5 Quarterback Sacks.

22. Trevor Pryce

Trevor Pryce had to feel happy when the Denver Broncos drafted the former Clemson Tiger as he was on a team that was on the cusp of something special.  Pryce was a member of the Broncos' first two Super Bowl wins, but he came into his own after that success by putting together a four-year streak of Pro Bowl Selections from 1999 to 2002.  Pryce played mostly at Defensive Tackle though he was also used at Defensive End, and he twice had a ten plus sack season.  Before he signed with the Baltimore Ravens in 2006, he would finish his Broncos tenure wi121 Games played and 64 Sacks.
