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.

Bill Bryan was drafted in the 4^th 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.
