Broncos bringing back Elway not just a PR move Broncos' comeback front and center

By Mike Klis The Denver Post January 2, 2011

Nicknames usually spawn from admiration and affection, and around these parts John Elway has received more than most.

There is only one "No. 7" in the Rocky Mountain region. Nestled between Hollywood and the Mississippi, "The Duke" refers not to movie star John Wayne.

"Captain Comeback" must have appealed to Elway's competitive pride. "," "The Helicopter" and "This One's for John!" are forever part of his legacy.

In a couple more days, people walking the halls at Broncos headquarters will have another name for Elway:

Boss.

The Broncos and owner Pat Bowlen are expected to call a news conference around midweek to announce when we reach an agreement with John Elway, Pat is very confident that John's intelligence, his leadership, business savvy, his knowledge of the game, and competitive fire — plus the respect that everyone in this building will have for him — will make us better right away," said , the Broncos' chief operating officer.

Take this seriously, Broncos fans. Elway is not rejoining the organization with the idea of extending a glad hand. This is not an image-enhancing tactic, even if it is a nice byproduct for an organization that could use a shot or two of integrity after the unfortunate Josh McDaniels' era.

Elway will have an upstairs office at the Paul D. Bowlen Memorial Broncos Centre, and he will show up every day. There's no need to punch a clock because high- ranking management officials never count their endless hours.

His title — vice president of football operations — will be the same one Mike Shanahan carried on top of his head coaching position. On top of everybody else. Remember all that power Shanahan held at Dove Valley from 1995-2008?

Starting with the New Year, a new decade, the Broncos will enter a new era.

Elway will be in charge. "I'm not going to get too far into that now," Elway said Friday on his radio show on 87.7 FM The Ticket. "Hopefully, we get something done (this week). We'll get that all settled. There is a process that has to be followed. If you understand, I don't want to say too much about it right now."

Overcoming the Millen effect

Might as well get this out of the way: There are people who don't believe Elway will succeed as the Broncos' football boss. did no favors for former star players attempting the transition from main floor locker room to upstairs office.

Neither did , Elway's quarterback mate from the draft class of 1983.

"I've been around John a long time, and there's nothing he can't do," said , Elway's backup quarterback in the back-to-back Super Bowl championship seasons of 1997-98. "They couldn't have picked a better person. He can evaluate. He knows football, he knows people. He's been in the business world and knows that. I felt like when he got out of football, he should have gone right back in there. He could have helped Mike (Shanahan). Heck, he is the Denver Broncos. He can handle it."

But there were glowing testimonials for , too, before he became the ' head coach. Nine seasons and 24 more losses than wins later, Green Bay booed the legendary Starr out of town.

So what makes Elway different from so many other stars who have failed in coaching or management positions?

"It's something that's been on his to-do list forever," former teammate Karl Mecklenberg said. "It's not like the team came to him and said, 'We need your help, we need you to be a figurehead.' When he came to Mr. Bowlen before, Mr. Bowlen made sure he ran him through that whole Arena (Football League) thing. Mr. Bowlen had John run the Crush, and he learned the ropes there.

"It's about time. They need something. I don't know if a guy in the front office is necessarily the answer. But I think John will figure it out."

Besides his experience with the Colorado Crush, which won the AFL title in its third season of 2005, Elway is the son of the late Jack Elway, a longtime college coach, who finished his career with the Broncos as one of Bowlen's most trusted consultants.

As John Elway waited until he felt the timing was right to join the Broncos, he turned his golf hobby into a serious passion. Although he became a scratch golfer, Elway is ready to put away the clubs. He may keep his bag in the trunk. But it's not like he's going to show up to work at 11 wearing a sweater vest and visor. "I kind of felt like I plateaued at that level, anyway," Elway said about his golf game. "I love the game of football. That's what I'm excited about. The game is something that's in my blood. It's been there forever. I got involved in the Arena League because I wanted to be close to football and learn that front-office side. It was a great learning experience for me. It got me a chance to be close to the game, even though it was obviously a very different game at a different level. The competitive side of it is definitely the lure."

Getting down to brass tacks

Once Broncos general manager Brian Xanders helps get Elway up to speed on the team's roster, the free-agent market and the draft market, ol' No. 7 will start making the calls.

Xanders will report to Elway. The new head coach will report to the man who helped hire him.

"He has true leadership skills, mental toughness. I can tell that," Xanders said. "And he's going to hold everybody accountable. I think it's a great opportunity for him to oversee the whole football operations of the Denver Broncos, because he knows the expectations of the fans and the organization. And he's going to try and lead us there."

Understand, this is not a mere public relations move. This is the Broncos in their most worrisome state since posting a 2-7 record in the strike season of 1982 — otherwise known as the Year Before Elway. This is the 4-11 Broncos once again calling "Captain Comeback" to the rescue.

"It is not a PR move," Ellis said. "That would be a waste of John's time and our time and the fans' time. Because we need to win.

"He'll roll up his sleeves and do his job. I've had enough meetings with him to know that. This isn't about him. This is about the Denver Broncos and this community and our fans, and us getting better as quickly as we can." Elway: 'I love the Broncos,' want to return franchise to glory

The Associated Press January 5, 2011

Hall of Famer John Elway is embarking on another comeback.

The beloved quarterback, who led the Denver Broncos to five Super Bowl appearances and back-to-back championships before retiring in 1999, returned to the team's Dove Valley headquarters Wednesday to begin restoring its tarnished image and bringing back its winning ways.

Broncos owner Pat Bowlen said he expects his new chief football executive to lead the franchise to more Super Bowls and joked this time that Elway can tell him: "This one's for Pat!"

"I can't think of a better job and a better guy to do that job than John Elway, and I look forward to great things in the future," said Bowlen, who famously declared, "This one's for John!" following the Broncos' upset of the Green Bay Packers in Super Bowl XXXII.

"I think John will return this team to a very high level of competitiveness," Bowlen said. "I think we'll win some more Super Bowls."

Elway, who retired with an NFL-record 47 comeback drives, said he was ready for this enormous challenge.

"I do not know everything about this job, but I cannot wait to learn as much as I can about the job," he said. "I am thrilled to be back with the Broncos, I am thrilled to be back in football. I get on the football field and it makes my heart pump."

Elway's first task is leading the search for a new coach to replace Josh McDaniels, whose 22-month misadventure left the Broncos embarrassed and in need of a major makeover.

"Why am I here? I love the Broncos," Elway said. "I understand what the Broncos are all about. They are about the integrity, about the winning and about the things that you do and how you handle yourself."

Elway has interviews set up with three coaching candidates so far and hopes to talk Stanford coach into applying, too.

Elway will meet with Falcons offensive coordinator Mike Mularkey in Atlanta on Friday night, then fly back to Denver to interview New York Giants defensive coordinator Perry Fewell and Broncos interim head coach Eric Studesville on Sunday. The Denver Post reported that New Orleans Saints defensive coordinator also is on Elway's list.

Studesville went 1-3 after being promoted from running backs coach upon McDaniels' Dec. 6 ouster.

Elway, 50, said he feels like a rookie all over again, but he insisted he should get up to speed quickly based on his experience growing up as the son of a football coach, playing for 16 seasons in the NFL and running an arena league team for six seasons.

"I know what I don't know," Elway said, promising to surround himself with a good team in Denver like the one he led to Super Bowl titles following the 1997 and '98 seasons.

Elway said he already has sought the advice of former NFL executive Ernie Accorsi, who drafted him in Baltimore -- and traded him to Denver -- and was Cleveland's GM when Elway engineered "The Drive" in the 1987 AFC championship game to beat the Browns.

"So, thank God there was no animosity and he took my call," said Elway, who plans to keep an open line with Accorsi as he settles into his new gig.

Not many great players have made successful transitions to the front office -- think Dan Marino and Matt Millen -- but Elway said that didn't give him pause.

"No. Because I'm not them," Elway said. "And I know what I want to do and I want to compete and I want to be the best that I can in this. I don't believe in 'I can't.'"

Elway was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2004. He also led the League's Colorado Crush to a championship in 2005 as its co-owner and chief executive officer.

Elway's title is executive vice president of football operations in the Broncos' reshaped front office, and chief operating officer Joe Ellis becomes team president. Brian Xanders goes from the general manager in name only to one who's empowered in the new organizational chart.

Elway said he didn't consider anyone else for the GM job, saying he trusts Xanders, who was basically relegated to consultant status under McDaniels.

"It turned into a one-man show there," Elway said, noting he doesn't hold the current state of the roster against Xanders. "Brian is a guy where I appreciate what he did: He respected the chain of command." One of the biggest questions facing the franchise is whether or not Tim Tebow, who supplanted starter Kyle Orton for the final three games, is the quarterback of the future.

"Tim Tebow is a darn good football player," Elway said. "What we have to make him is a darn good quarterback, and that is what we have to figure out."

Elway said he'll leave it up to the next coach to decide if Tebow is the starting quarterback -- adding, however: "I don't believe that anyone is going to come over and say, 'I don't want Tim Tebow.' If they do, then maybe they are not the right guy for the job."

Elway also said he'd love to have star cornerback Champ Bailey back next season, but he wasn't sure the team's budget would allow that. Elway sounded like he believed he'd be looking for a replacement in the draft or free agency for right tackle Ryan Harris, who stabilized the offensive line and protected Tebow's blind side but will be a free agent.

The Broncos are coming off the worst season in their 51-year history, a 4-12 debacle that exposed McDaniels' many personnel blunders and was marked by a videotaping scandal that cast them as cheaters.

Elway said he was hurt, as were many fans, by the video violation.

"That brand is about integrity and doing things the right way," Elway said, motioning toward the Broncos' logo. "So I don't know for sure, but I think that was the straw that broke the camel's back. ... Pat never wants that to happen again. I think he trusts me being in this position and being involved on the football side to make sure that that never happens."

Elway sees one of his primary tasks as reconnecting the Broncos with their disenchanted fan base.

Mike Shanahan was fired in January 2009 after a run of mediocrity, and McDaniels was plucked from Bill Belichick's staff in New England, but his reign was marred by personnel miscalculations that led to a one-dimensional offense and a dismal defense that ranked last in the league.

The Broncos have just six picks in April's draft, although half of them are among the top 50 selections, including the No. 2 overall pick.

The Broncos have won only one playoff game since Elway retired in 1999 following his second consecutive Super Bowl title, and they haven't reached the postseason in five years.

"This is a mountain that I am ready to climb," Elway said. Q&A With Brian Xanders

By Gray Caldwell DenverBroncos.com April 27, 2011

General Manager Brian Xanders sat down with DenverBroncos.com to discuss the team's final preparations for the 2011 NFL Draft, which begins tomorrow.

With the draft a little more than 24 hours away, General Manager Brian Xanders sat down with DenverBroncos.com for a quick Q&A session on the team's final draft preparations. The first round of the 2011 NFL Draft kicks off at 6 p.m. MDT tomorrow.

Is the draft board totally set? "Absolutely. It's set. We're ready to go. We've spent the whole week refining and adjusting our board and we're all set for tomorrow."

You said a week ago that 190 players were on the board. How many are on it now? "We're down to probably 160, 170. That's more going through the film one more time, the character one more time and the medical."

What happens between now and 6 p.m. tomorrow? "We're actually going to take tomorrow morning off, give everybody some time away -- because we're going to be here for three straight days. We're going to end up probably taking some calls tomorrow afternoon, some scenarios, and really wait for it to start and see if there's something that comes up."

In your experience, when do you expect to start fielding calls for potential trades? "The draft starts at 6 mountain time, I would say we might get a call at 5 or 5:30. The reason is a lot of teams don't want to tip their hand on what they're intending to do until the end. They don't want it to get out publicly."

How many different scenarios have you gone over for how the draft could play out? "We did at least 10 different ones, which was the first time I've ever done that many. (Head Coach John) Fox has never done that many, either. It's more evaluating how the board could come off and which player we would take. We did some trade-down scenarios at every pick."

Are those mock drafts just for the first round? "(Rounds) one through four. We never usually have gone that long, we usually just did one and two. This is the most scenarios we've ever run." How do you base the predictions? "We go off their team needs. Our pro department builds a team needs board from research, looking at their rosters for the last two months. We generate team need No. 1, two, three, four, five, six, seven and eight. When we're drafting, we look at who they've drafted before and who they would likely pick."

With the second overall pick, the team's first round could be over about a half hour into the draft tomorrow. Will you stay in the war room for the rest of the evening? "Yes, we'll be watching the rest of the picks during the day. We'll be getting trade calls on our two second-round picks and you really want to see how the board is laying out."

As an NFL personnel guy, where does this weekend rank? "There's no stress. It's like Christmas Day, because you're trying to improve your football team, you're trying to pick the best players you can for your scheme, and to me it's an opportunity to get better." Broncos coach perfectly matched on and off the field

By Terry Frei The Denver Post January 15, 2011

On a Sunday in late February 1985, the former Robin Militello had been married for less than 24 hours in her hometown of St. Louis when she and her new husband, an energetic young football coach named John Fox, caught a flight from St. Louis to Los Angeles and rushed to the Coliseum. There, the Football League's Los Angeles Express was about to play the Houston Gamblers.

"John handed me one ticket," Robin recalled at the Broncos' Dove Valley headquarters. "I'm looking at him and asking, 'Where do I go?' He says, 'Oh, just follow the other wives, you'll figure it out.'

"I'm sitting in the Coliseum by myself, three hours before the game started. And I'm going, 'What in the world did I just do?' "

It was opening day of the spring league's season, and Fox, the Express' new defensive backfield coach, was about to coach his first regular-season game in pro football.

The Express, with at quarterback and at offensive tackle, led 33-13 going into the fourth quarter. But the Gamblers, with throwing for 263 yards in the fourth quarter and 574 yards for the game against a Fox-coached secondary, came back to win 34-33 in front of an announced crowd of 18,828 in the cavernous Coliseum.

The marriage has lasted.

The league didn't.

And Fox's coaching career in pro football, with perhaps nowhere to go but up after that afternoon, is an NFL success story. At 55, he was hired as the Broncos' 14th head coach on Thursday, landing on his feet after a 2-14 season closed out an otherwise praiseworthy nine-season stint with the Carolina Panthers.

"Nine years in this league is a great run," Fox said after his introductory news conference Friday at Dove Valley. "All good things come to an end and it was time for a change. I'm really excited about the challenge." Always on the move

At birth in Virginia Beach, Va., and during his mother's previous marriages, the future coach was John St. George and John Hutchison. Then, in mid-1960, Kaye met and married a rough and tough Navy SEAL, Ron Fox, and John's name changed again. "In my mind, he was my dad," John said. "He was always great to me, always treated me like his own son."

In 1970, when John was in the early stages of high school, the family moved to the San Diego area, where Ron trained SEALs. "I started getting frisky, thinking maybe I could take my dad if we wrestled," John said. "My brother and I went down to Coronado with him, because they had a diving tower and we loved to swim there. He was in charge of the equivalent of detention, and they had them in these 'combat' rooms, and we proceeded to watch him beat the tar out of two of 'em at once, so I changed my mind about mouthing off to my dad."

Fox sustained a broken collarbone in the first game of his senior season at Castle Park High in Chula Vista, Calif. He made it back onto the field for a playoff game, but didn't receive any scholarship offers. After playing two years at Southwestern College, he transferred to San Diego State and walked on, earning a scholarship and playing for a -coached 10-1 team as a senior in 1977.

He was determined to get into coaching in the worst way. Arguably, he did just that.

Fox was an Aztecs graduate assistant for one year, then spent the next six seasons as a defensive backs coach at six schools — U.S. International, Boise State, Long Beach State, Utah, Kansas and Iowa State.

"It was all upward mobility," Fox said. "I was single and I was aggressive."

During a spring 1984 trip with other Iowa State coaches to confer with the Texas staff, he met Robin Militello, an American Airlines flight attendant, on a flight from Dallas to Austin. Actually, he was on a pay phone when he spotted her and, he joked, "stared at her to the point where I think I made her uncomfortable."

Said Robin: "We had made eye contact in the terminal, and then I had to go down to the plane. When he got on, he walked right by me and didn't even recognize me."

Confessed John: "She took the tickets, but I wasn't really paying attention."

But he ended up with the aisle seat next to the galley, and they struck up a conversation. When he asked how to get in touch with her, she told him where she was staying and that if he could remember — and spell — her last name, he would be able to find her. "So I'm with three other knucklehead coaches, and there are four football coaches trying to remember it for me," he said. John and Robin went to dinner in Austin and began a long-distance relationship — "She was based in Dallas and I was in metropolitan Ames, Iowa," Fox said — that even included Robin and her parents going to an Iowa State home game. The couple set a wedding date for the next February, and the plans were far along when John took the job with the Express, which was going to open its regular season the day after the big ceremony in St. Louis.

See you later, Raiders

After that USFL season, the league's last, Fox returned to college ball with Pittsburgh in 1986, moved to the Steelers in 1989 and started his climb in the NFL. The major speed bump came in 1996, when, on the verge of his third season as the Raiders' defensive coordinator, Fox walked into the office of senior administrator Bruce Allen and handed him a letter of resignation. At the time, head coach said the move took him "totally by surprise." Fox won't go into detail about why he quit. But the intervening hand of owner was infamous by then.

"My parents were with me and we were unpacking," Robin recalled. "And John had our oldest son, Matthew, with him at camp. He called me and said, 'Robin, whatever you do, do not freak out.' I was thinking Matthew was there, and I was going, 'Oh, my gosh, what?' He said, 'I just quit my job and I'm on my way home.' I said, 'You did what?' My dad took the phone out of my hand and said, 'John, you just come home and we'll make it all work.' "

John said of his Raiders stint: "Even though it didn't end up good, it still was a great experience. People talk about Al, but he's in the Hall of Fame for a reason. He knows personnel. And sometimes, seeing how not to do things is as important as seeing how to do things."

The Fox family moved to St. Louis for a sabbatical year, and John worked as a consultant in the Rams' front office. He got back into coaching as the Giants' defensive coordinator in 1997 and had an attention-catching run there with the franchise that made it to Super Bowl XXXV in January 2001, losing to the He got the Panthers' head coaching job in 2002.

At least publicly, his upbeat attitude — even during the Panthers' two-win season in 2010 — was unrelenting. By now, the Foxes have four children — sons Matthew, Mark and Cody and daughter Halle.

"Charlotte's all Halle knows," Robin said. "Now she's 11, and there might be a little drama, but once she gets out here and sees all this, she'll be excited. How can she not be? John and I are.

"Honestly, nothing really gets him down. Or if it does, he doesn't show it. When he gets upset is when someone says something to me. That's when you see a reaction. We're a team, and that's always the way we've looked at it."

Ever since that rough beginning in the Los Angeles Coliseum. Always a Coach

By Gabe Hiatt DenverBroncos.com January 14, 2011

Head Coach John Fox always knew he would end up coaching football. More than two decades of NFL experience stood out to the Broncos when they tabbed him as the 14th head coach of the franchise.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- For more than 40 years, Head Coach John Fox knew what he wanted to do with his life. He said his childhood friends would tell you he had a plan for his career since he was 11 years old.

He was not the type of kid to wear a plastic red helmet hoping to one day become a fire fighter. He had no aspirations of becoming an astronaut sipping Tang from within an international space station. Fox said he always "kind of" knew that he would play football as long as he could and then transition to coaching.

When the Denver Broncos agreed to terms with Fox as the 14th head coach in the history of the franchise, he began his second stint leading a football team at the highest level of the sport. On Friday, Fox introduced himself in his first press conference as the new head coach.

"I was not one of those guys who changed majors or made a life change," Fox said. "Coaches were big influences on me, and I actually wanted to be a high school coach and teacher."

In a 22-year NFL career, Fox has far exceeded his early goal of coaching teenagers on Friday nights. He served as the head coach of the Carolina Panthers for the past nine years, and before that worked as the defensive coordinator of the New York Giants for five years.

When the Panthers did not renew Fox's contract, he immediately jumped at the next challenge in Denver. After Carolina finished last season with a 2-14 record, he could have booked a vacation or explored positions with less responsibility. But that would not have fulfilled Fox.

He wanted to prove he was the same coach that took the Panthers to a Super Bowl in 2003, the same coach that posted two 11-win seasons and two NFC South titles.

"I did have options, but I am extremely competitive," Fox said. "That is probably all the more reason why I am here today. I wanted to jump back in and erase that. It would be no different than if I were the head coach here and we finished with that same record. I would be just as enthusiastic to get it back rolling again." Part of that process is instilling Fox's style of football into the organization.

General Manager Brian Xanders said one of the coach's most appealing traits during the interview process was the coach's insistence on getting back to the fundamentals of blocking and tackling. Working under four-time Super-Bowl Champion in Pittsburgh, Fox spent three years coaching the defensive backs for the Steelers and said Noll taught him an appreciation for the basics.

Fox's experiences with Noll and the time he spent coordinating one of the NFL's most disruptive defenses in New York stood out to Xanders as much as the coach's accolades with the Panthers.

"His early NFL experience was so strong. That was probably something that we didn't know, in terms of the magnitude that it had on him," Xanders said. "Then he gets hired away to the Panthers. There's a reason he got hired (then) and there's a reason he got hired this week."

Starting his coaching career in 1979 at United States International University in San Diego, Fox said his humble beginnings and rise through the coaching ranks helped make him the well-rounded coach he is today.

Throughout his journey as a football coach, Fox has brought along an infectious enthusiasm that helped him impress the front office brass in Denver. Executive Vice President of Football Operations John Elway and Xanders both spoke to the glowing comments they received from all of Fox's references.

When Xanders worked for the , he said he always observed Fox's positive influence on his players for the division rival Panthers.

"I knew him from afar as an energetic, positive guy," Xanders said. "Our research was strong that the players love to play for him. The coaches love to coach with him. He creates a lot of loyalty and performance, so it becomes like a family." Paige: Mr. Fox is Mr. Fix-It

By Woody Paige The Denver Post January 14, 2011

John & John.

Now, the two Johns, Elway and Fox, have been appointed and anointed to lead the feral horses back to becoming bracing, bucking, busting Broncos.

Is Fox The Fix?

"We've found the right coach for the Broncos," Elway said of Fox on Thursday night.

After almost six hours of talks Wednesday, Elway and Fox adjourned to "the cheapest restaurant for me" — Elway's in Cherry Creek — to share a casual dinner, and Fox brought up the first time the two were on opposite sides.

Twenty-one years ago this week, in a playoff game at Mile High Stadium, Elway was the Broncos' quarterback, Fox the Steelers' secondary coach. In yet another Elway fourth-quarter comeback, the Broncos nudged the Steelers 24-23.

Fox, as an assistant with the Steelers, the Chargers, the Raiders and the Giants — would confront Elway 13 times. In 1998, the Broncos, 13-0, played in New Jersey — and Fox was the defensive coordinator. The Giants prevented the Broncos from going for a perfect season.

"He remembered all those games," Elway said. "I remember how solid his defenses were."

By the end of the evening, Elway was sold on Fox, and Fox was sold on the Broncos.

Maybe the candidates for the job didn't have the same sizzle as the bone-in ribeye, but Fox was the proven commodity, the one who had taken his team, the Panthers, to a Super Bowl.

"There wasn't a flash-decision moment," Elway said. "It was John's football knowledge, his experience, his history of turning teams around, his energy level, his eagerness to coach, and win, in Denver."

It can be charged that the team that tied for the NFL's second-worst record, 4-12, hired the coach with the worst record, 2-14. "Obviously, we looked at that," Elway said. "But after the research we did on John, which had no negatives, and his track record over the (nine) years, the more we talked, the less that became an issue." The Broncos made an exceptional hire.

Owner Pat Bowlen, president Joe Ellis, general manager Brian Xanders and Elway met again with Fox on Thursday morning and wouldn't let him get away from Dove Valley. "The other (four) coaches will be head coaches, but we got our man. Everybody was in agreement."

Fox was in his hotel room Thursday night contacting potential assistant coaches. He gave the selection committee three or four names for coordinators and positions coaches, and it's expected that Jim Mora Jr., a two-time head coach, leads the list as defensive coordinator. Current offensive coordinator Mike McCoy, who coached under Fox, could be the choice for offensive coordinator, and Redskins special- teams coach is the front-runner for the same job in Denver.

"John has coached the 3-4 and the 4-3 (defenses), and he wants to see what system here best fits the personnel," Elway said.

The order of business is Fox will hire a staff, and the Broncos will continue concentrating on potential free agents and the draft. Fox wasn't consumed with being a control freak in Carolina. "As we've said, the moves we'll make will be based on a consensus, and John is on board with that," Elway said.

The new coach is, and was, a supporter of Tim Tebow, who was weightlifting at Dove Valley on Thursday. Before the draft last season, Fox attended Tebow's workout in Florida. "He doesn't lack in the work ethic department, so whatever he needs to do, he'll do," Fox said then. After that session, Fox and Tebow had dinner.

"John agrees with us about all the intangibles Tim possesses. He already is a great football player; as I said, we've we got to help him become a great quarterback."

Fox's first assistant's job in pro football was with the old USFL's Los Angeles Express, and he dealt with a young left- handed running quarterback — Steve Young.

Fox, who grew up in San Diego as the son of a U.S. Navy SEAL, played at San Diego State and coached at seven colleges and with seven pro teams — and worked under Chuck Noll, , , Rich Brooks and (who recruited and coached Elway at Stanford).

His credentials are strong. He had three turnaround 11- or 12-victory seasons, but he also had two 8-8 and three 7-9 seasons, before the collapse this year. The Panthers were third in the league in rushing in 2008-09, but spotty against the rush (as high as fourth, as low as 23rd) during Fox's tenure.

He is a personable man who would rather look at film than go to the movies. His players respected Fox despite, or because of, his disciplined, old-school, no- nonsense, in-the-trenches coaching style. If Rip Van Winkle were asleep since January 2006, woke up today and heard the Broncos had just hired Fox, he'd exclaim: "What a combination! A team that made the AFC title game and a coach that reached the NFC title game." The last time both did was in the 2005 season.

The Duke and The Fox want to bring that feeling back.

Special FX comes to Denver. Paige: Broncos coach Fox wants winner for next ring

By Woody Paige The Denver Post February 1,2011

John Fox didn't come to Denver because he loves snow, subzero temperatures and Casa Bonita.

Fox didn't need money; he made $6.5 million last year. He wouldn't have been out of work long; the Eagles offered him a job. Fox didn't believe he had to prove anything to anyone else; he had turned the Panthers around three times.

He became the Broncos' head coach for one reason.

In early 1978, as the Broncos were gearing for their first Super Bowl, Fox was hired by the legendary as defensive backs coach at United States International University, a small San Diego liberal-arts school playing big-time Division I football.

"A couple of other new assistants had been with another college that lost its bowl. They just got their rings and were showing them off when Coach Gillman walked in the room," Fox told me. "He looked at the rings and said, 'You got these for getting your (rears) kicked, and you're proud of them?' Then he stomped out. I've never forgotten that."

Fox has two Super Bowl rings — one for being an assistant on the losing Giants in XXXV and the other for being the head coach on the losing Panthers in XXXVIII.

He doesn't wear, or look at, either.

"I came back to get a winning ring. It's why I do this."

In the week leading up to Super Bowl XLV, Fox is well aware that his seventh NFL stop likely will be his last chance at winning a ring. His bosses, Pat Bowlen and John Elway, each own two NFL championship rings (and three loser's rings).

Elway and Bowlen celebrated their last Super Bowl on Jan. 31, 1999. Fox is hounded by his loss on Feb. 1, 2004.

If this amalgamation of Bowlen, Elway & Fox doesn't result in a Super Bowl in the next four seasons, they may all move on to the beach. In 2015 Bowlen will be 71, Fox 60 and Elway 55. Bowlen has a home in Hawaii, Elway one near Los Angeles, and Fox was a beach bum in San Diego in high school and at San Diego State.

"I'm not ready to retire to sitting on the beach," Fox said.

After his collegiate playing career ended in 1977, Fox spent the next season with the Aztecs as a graduate assistant and earned his teaching certificate. His goal was to be a high school football coach. But his career took an odd turn when USIU decided to upgrade its football program, and the university president suggested, on a lark, that the athletic director call Gillman, the former coach of the San Diego Chargers. Gillman and Paul Brown have been termed the "fathers of modern pro football."

Gillman, who lived in the San Diego area, agreed to end his short- lived retirement and take over the Globe Runners. He hired a young staff that included Fox and two other assistants who ended up in the NFL, and a fourth eventually was named a major-college head coach.

"The most important thing Coach Gillman taught me was simplifying the terminology," Fox said.

The minimizing of memorization made the system easier for players to understand in practice and execute in games. "I still use that terminology," Fox says.

Fox was straight out of the Gillman that branched throughout pro football. Al Davis coached under Gillman with the Chargers (and later hired Fox as his coordinator). Among those who coached or studied with Gillman (who early on served as an assistant with ) were Bum Phillips, Chuck Noll, Paul Dietzel, Jack Faulkner (the Broncos' second coach), Ara Parseghian and .

Yet, Fox spent only four months with Gillman, who left abruptly to become 's offensive coordinator with the Eagles. Tom Walsh was elevated at USIU (which had only 1,500 undergraduates), and the Globe Runners finished 8-3.

Since then, USIU has dropped football and even dropped its name (it's now Alliant International University).

Fox departed after a year and continued on a coach's odyssey at six other colleges, one United States Football League team and five NFL teams. He was named the Panthers' head coach in 2002.

The late Gillman, a pass-offense genius, and Fox, a run-oriented coach, disagreed about a critical offensive strategy. Gillman felt that running the football was an unnecessary nuisance. "He would tell us that in any situation, if he had to choose between his worst pass play and his best run play, he'd call the pass.

"I'm the opposite. I'd rather use my worst run play than my best pass play."

Gillman would be bored.

The Panthers' run-pass yardage NFL rankings for Fox's nine seasons: 2002, 25-30; 2003, 7-18; 2004, 28-9; 2005, 19-17; 2006, 24-15; 2007, 14-29; 2008, 3-19; 2009, 3-27; 2010, 13-32.

This season the Packers were ranked 24-5, the Steelers 11-14. On overall defense, Pittsburgh was second, Green Bay fifth.

With the Broncos, Fox will have to duplicate his best rankings in both offensive categories and his strongest ranking on defense (third in 2005) the same season if he intends to wear a winning ring. Allen looks to stick around as Broncos defensive coordinator

The Associated Press August 13, 2011

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Dennis Allen hopes to make the job of Denver Broncos defensive coordinator something more than a short-time gig.

Six men have held the job in the previous six years: (2010), (2009), (2008), Jim Bates (2007) and Larry Coyer (2003-06).

Allen is the latest to try to find some success and staying power.

"Hey, it's crazy like that," said defensive tackle Marcus Thomas, one of the Broncos' longest-tenured players as a fourth-round pick in 2007. "But with this new 'D' and everything, it seems like he's going to be here for a while. Everything he's saying, it fits how I play. Everybody's buying in and catching on real fast. It's real solid out there."

Denver's defense ranked last in total yards (390.8) and points per game (29.4).

The pendulum had swung so far that the Broncos brought in a defensive-minded head coach in John Fox as a counter to the offensive leaders that roamed the sidelines for more than a decade in Mike Shanahan and Josh McDaniels.

Fox's long-standing relationship with three members of the New Orleans staff — head coach , defensive coordinator Gregg Williams and defensive line coach Bill Johnson — led to an interview with Allen, who had served as the Saints' assistant defensive line coach and defensive backs coach.

He was widely known as an up-and-coming young assistant.

Fox had been Denver's coach for a week in January when he began preparing for his move from North Carolina. The only way Allen and Fox could align their schedules was by meeting at Fox's home. Fox picked up Allen at the airport around 8 a.m. and the two talked philosophy and scheme for the next seven hours before an offer was extended and accepted.

"Kudos to my wife," Fox said. "She had a grease board and all that stuff lined up. I had pens, little erasers. So basically she converted my bar into a little coaches' office, and it was kind of neat. It was neat for him, I think, to be somewhere other than somebody's facility. He's a very sharp, impressive coach and I think he's a real good candidate as a head coach."

Allen's first job is to return Denver's defense to respectability.

The addition of second overall draft pick Von Miller at strong-side linebacker, the return of defensive end and 2010 NFL sack leader Elvis Dumervil and a slew of signings in the interior defensive line will help. The Broncos' philosophically has changed from a 3-4 alignment to a 4-3 look that will attack from a variety of angles.

"It's partly scheme but a lot of it is just mentality," Allen said. "I think the only advantage defenses have anymore is they have to be feared. So that's the thing that we want to be. We want to be a violent, aggressive defense that plays within the rules, but we're going to try to hit you as hard as we can and then obviously schematically, we're going to try to bring pressures in different areas when we get you in those downs and distances."

Denver's 24-23 loss in the preseason opener at Dallas didn't provide many clues into the ultimate effectiveness of Allen's group. The first-team defense was on the field for only one series. The low point was a missed tackle in the hole followed by a breakaway run, this time for 18 yards by the Cowboys' Felix Jones. Yet pressure by Dumervil on a third-and-10 play forced quarterback to step up in the pocket and hurry a throw that was incomplete, stopping the drive at 54 yards and keeping the damage to three points.

The grades for Allen so far are more easily decipherable, at least from his players. Words like intense, fiery, enthusiastic and detailed have been used to describe the 38-year-old assistant, who, at the time of his hiring, was the second-youngest defensive coordinator in the league behind Sean McDermott of Carolina (36).

"He's one of most passionate, feisty coaches we have," Dumervil said. "What he does great is simplify things for the players so we can just go out and play ball. He doesn't believe in making you guess and think. He wants guys comfortable and playing hard. The mentality and approach he has is definitely what you want from a defensive coordinator."

Allen's defensive backfield in New Orleans in its 2009 championship season yielded a league-low 13 TD passes while accounting for 22 interceptions — six for TDs. The defensive line he helped coach in 2006-07 combined for 48½ sacks, 10 forced fumbles and 10 fumble recoveries.

Kelly's Camp Fosters Success Assistant Director of Pro Personnel Champ Kelly runs a football camp pointing youths in the right direction.

By Max Henson DenverBroncos.com July18, 2011

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Anthony "Champ" Kelly grew up in a broken home. Living in a small rural town in the Florida panhandle, his parents struggled to provide a stable household and there were constant temptations to get involved with a dangerous crowd.

It would have been easy for Kelly to fall prey to his difficult surroundings, but he survived that troubled childhood.

"When I was growing up my mother was addicted to drugs and my dad wasn't around all the time. I was raised basically by my grandparents. We didn't have a whole lot," Kelly said. "A lot of the people that I grew up with - a lot of those people are in jail. Some are dead. Some got involved in drugs. I could have made the decision to get on the wrong path.

"But having athletics and the strong presence of coaches helped steer me on the right path."

Kelly - now the assistant director of pro personnel for the Denver Broncos - found success and proper guidance through the game of football. He played collegiately at the University of Kentucky and later played professionally in the United Indoor Football League.

Now, with the help of his wife Stephanie, Kelly is using the sport to help steer youths in the right direction with Heart Power Inc. - a non-profit organization the couple created in 2010.

According to Kelly, the most important aspect of his organization is the two- day, non-contact football camps. The 2nd annual C.H.A.M.P. camp recently took place in Kelly's hometown of Graceville, Fla., and also made its way to Lexington, Ky., for the first time (Kelly hopes to bring the C.H.A.M.P. camp to Denver in 2012). Campers range from age 10-17 and while there is a $50 fee to attend, no camper will be turned down due to lack of funds thanks to support from sponsors and donations from local businesses. In fact, only 25% of campers were able to pay the fee.

So with over 250 campers in attendance, Kelly and a wide array of coaches and guest speakers - including NFL Hall of Famer - used football as a mechanism to reach kids with invaluable educational lessons. "The game of football is such a great parallel to life, that it makes it a perfect fit for these camps. I played the game all my life so I understand the game, so to be able to use that as an avenue to reach these kids is just amazing," Kelly said. "I can't remember an instance when I was growing up when we had professionals at any level come back and talk to us about how to be successful in life."

But as a professional now, Kelly is delivering those messages. Despite his time-consuming commitment to a front office position in the National Football League, Kelly uses what little time off he has to give back.

"To do what we do in this profession requires a lot of time and commitment and to execute a non-profit and orchestrate camps during the summer requires a lot of dedication. So it's almost like working two or three jobs and it takes away from free time," Kelly said. "But for me to be in this position and not invest or help out another child it would be doing a disservice."

Kelly is proud and honored to have worked his way into a job he considers his hobby.

And as he sits in his comfortable office wearing a Broncos collared shirt and hat, he often reminds himself how fortunate he's been to find such success in life coming from such harsh beginnings.

So Kelly will settle back into work and focus in on another NFL season, but he is already looking forward to next summer and what lies ahead for his camps, and the hundreds of impressionable kids who'll be in attendance.

"I love everyday that I'm alive to come into this building and I don't take it for granted," Kelly said of working for the Broncos. "But the most fulfilling part of this job is not just being a title at the Denver Broncos.

"It's the fact that I can use this position to affect the community." Krieger: Broncos' Kelly uses experience to help struggling kids

By Dave Krieger Denver Post Columnist July 24, 2011

Whenever the NFL lockout finally ends and the Broncos can start signing players, Anthony "Champ" Kelly, their assistant director of pro personnel, will start working the phones.

Alongside the rest of the Broncos' front-office team, Kelly will recruit free agents — unrestricted, college and the Broncos' own — in the frenzy expected to follow ratification of a new collective bargaining agreement.

For many of the players on the other end of those calls, the NFL is a land of dreams. But Kelly, 31, knows a little more about dreams than most. He took a decidedly unorthodox path to the Broncos' front office.

The son of a mother addicted to crack cocaine and a mostly absent father, he was raised by his grandparents in Campbellton, Fla., population 220, just south of the Alabama state line. His mother went into labor with him on her 20th birthday.

"I was actually 'Champ' before I was Anthony," he said in his Dove Valley office last week. "When I was born, my mother said, 'We made it, didn't we, champ?' So everybody called me Champ from that point on. I was named Anthony three days later."

It would be a while before he understood what his mother meant.

"Before she passed, on her deathbed, she became my best friend," he said. "She told me about her regrets."

His mother's addiction led to heart failure. She spent her final months bedridden, dying a little more than six years ago at age 45.

"As a kid growing up, not understanding addiction, you feel like your parents don't love you, or that you're isolated and alone," Kelly said. "But now, in hindsight, I understand that it wasn't that she loved me any less, it was that when you're addicted, you can't control all of that stuff. Your priorities are out of line."

Kelly escaped the poverty of Florida's panhandle through football, earning a scholarship to the University of Kentucky. "Once I started playing, I gained acceptance," he said. "I found a group of people who loved me. So possibly, I chased the love and the normalcy of playing sports more so than just doing it because I was good at it."

You won't find many front office worker bees with their own charitable foundations, but last year Kelly and his wife, Stephanie, a pediatric physical therapist, founded Heart Power Inc., named for the famous Vince Lombardi quote.

Last summer, it hosted a football camp in Graceville, Fla., where he went to high school, for 120 kids. No kid who wanted to participate was turned away. This summer, Heart Power held camps in Graceville and Lexington, Ky., where he and Stephanie met while attending UK. Next summer, they plan to add their first Colorado camp.

"Those guys in the personnel department don't have a lot of off time, so to have a guy that spends the off time he does have giving these kids an opportunity, it's pretty impressive," said John Elway , the Broncos' football operations chief.

"Basically, the mission of Heart Power is to support youth and their families who are in search of positive, encouraging influences," Kelly said. "Giving back is not something that I want to do; it's something that I have to do. It completes me. I feel like God has blessed me so much to bring me from where I was to where I am now that I'm obligated to give back."

When he talks to kids, perseverance is a big part of Kelly's message. After graduating from Kentucky with a degree in computer science, he did not receive an invitation to the NFL combine. He played wide receiver and defensive back for the Lexington Horsemen, the local arena football team, went to work for IBM and got his master's degree in business. When he was finished playing, he became the team's general manager and a coach at Lexington Christian Academy.

He sent out e-mails and resumes to all 32 NFL teams for years, receiving enough rejection letters to wallpaper a bedroom. Finally, in 2007, Jim Goodman, the former Broncos personnel chief who had recruited Kelly as a high school player on behalf of years before, hired him as a scout. Last year, general manager Brian Xanders promoted him to assistant pro personnel director, working under Keith Kidd .

"He's got a bright, long future in the NFL," Xanders said. "For how young he is to be where he's at, he's on a fast-track career, I believe."

Maybe, but career advancement is not Kelly's only goal.

"I want to reach out to kids who are in circumstances similar to mine when I was growing up, or worse, and just show them that you can make it out," he said. "You can do something great."

Kickin' it: Sign of times: NFL players out of touch with reality Broncos' Champ Bailey eager for new challenge to play nickel too

By Mike Klis The Denver Post August 24, 2011

Used to be, nickel back was for kids.

A rookie breaking in, a free agent on the cheap, a longtime starter trying to hang on. Whatever the pool, they were the third-best cornerback on an NFL team.

John Elway, Jake Plummer and Jay Cutler were Broncos quarterbacks. Broncos nickel backs have been veterans such as Nate Jones, and Dre Bly, kids such as Joshua Bell, Karl Paymah and Domonique Foxworth.

The Broncos' nickel back in 2011? The one and only Champ.

It's not what you think. Champ Bailey remains unquestionably the Broncos' best cornerback. At an annual average salary of $10.75 million, he is the highest-paid player on the team and third-highest defensive back in the league (behind the younger and ).

This is not a demotion. It is a change in philosophy.

"I'm tired of losing," Bailey said, "so I'm willing to try anything."

As a left cornerback, which still is his position on first down and running downs, Bailey has played in a record 10 Pro Bowls — but zero Super Bowls.

When the old dog was approached by Broncos defensive coordinator Dennis Allen about trying a new trick, Bailey was far from insulted.

Truth is, nickel back is a rigorous new challenge for a 33-year-old who likely will one day deliver a speech in Canton, Ohio. Remember when Bailey signed his four- year, $43 million contract extension in March with the idea that he could switch to safety in Year 3 or 4 of the deal?

"Nickel back is almost like playing linebacker," Bailey said.

For quick review, the nickel back usually doesn't play until the down-and-distance situation calls for a pass. The offense will bring in a third wide receiver, and the defense counters by bringing in a third cornerback. In the Broncos' case, Bailey already is in the game as the left cornerback. It's Cassius Vaughn who comes in, but he takes Bailey's outside left cornerback position,

Andre Goodman stays at right cornerback and Bailey slides inside to the nickel, where he picks up the slot receiver.

"On third down, that's where the ball goes most of the time," Broncos quarterback Kyle Orton said. "So it's great to have a guy like Champ play in there, a guy who can cover pretty much everything."

Because the nickel back plays closer to the middle of the field, and offenses like to run against the nickel package, it helps if the nickel back is his team's best-tackling defensive back.

Bailey always has been known as one of the NFL's best-tackling cornerbacks. The nickel back also has more field to cover. Vaughn and Goodman can use the sidelines as boundaries. The nickel back covers the area from slot to opposite tackle.

"There's a lot of things that go on in there," Allen said. "And Champ's a smart player. He's been through it all. He understands it all. With some of the young guys we've got playing corner, we just felt like it would be the best thing for our team to move him inside. We can use him in a role he hasn't been used in as much — pressure the quarterback, lock him down on the slot and do some different things outside. I think it gives us a lot of flexibility putting him in there."

One reason Bailey embraced the move is he knows what feature of the nickel position has done for the careers of Tampa Bay's Ronde Barber and Green Bay's Charles Woodson. Barber essentially has played nickel back throughout his 14-year career and is the all-time sacks leader, by a substantial margin, among NFL cornerbacks with 26. (Former Bronco is tied for second with 15 1/2 sacks.)

Woodson didn't start playing the nickel until he moved from Oakland to Green Bay as he was about to turn 30. He has seven of his 13 1/2 sacks in his last three seasons. After getting only 17 interceptions in eight seasons with the Raiders, a supposedly past-his-cornerback-prime Woodson has 30 picks in the past five years with the Packers.

Bailey leads active cornerbacks with 49 interceptions, but the opportunities have been fewer as his reputation has grown. And with the inside nickel position mixing in a pass rush with all that pass coverage, perhaps Bailey can go to work on his three career sacks.

"It's different," Bailey said. "But I look at guys like Woodson and Barber and see how well that they do it. At the same time, you have to be tough to do it. You have to be mentally tough to do it. I just think that at this point in my career, I can pick up things a lot faster than some of these younger guys. It's not easy. But I like it."

Defensive tackle Brodrick Bunkley a solid addition to Denver Broncos

By Jeff Legwold The Denver Post August 25, 2011

Broncos defensive tackle Brodrick Bunkley has quietly become a key piece in the rebuilding of the defensive line this season. Bunkley is focused and eager to prove himself this season. If a 6-foot-2, 306-pound man can operate in stealth mode, Brodrick Bunkley just might be that guy.

For all of the sound and fury that has surrounded the Broncos' preseason, the defensive tackle has quietly gone about the business of being one of the most important additions to the team.

"No question he's got that quiet way, but he's a focused, focused individual," said Broncos safety Brian Dawkins, a teammate of Bunkley's for three years with the Eagles. "What I love about Buck, when someone makes a mistake there are individuals you can tell that it means something to them. He's one of those individuals, because he takes it to heart, he wants to do well, he wants to fix it.

"Sometimes I have to bring him back, get him back with us, but it's important for him to do well, to do the right thing and he never, ever wants to make a mistake."

Bunkley was one medical report from being in Cleveland instead of the middle of the Broncos' defensive line when training camp opened. The Eagles had shipped the former first-round pick — 14th overall in the 2006 draft — to the Browns for a fifth- round pick in next year's draft.

But after arriving at the Browns' complex, the team scuttled the trade after Bunkley's medical exam. Bunkley started only five games last season because of nerve and ligament damage to his left elbow, which he said did not require surgery at season's end.

The Broncos, in search of interior help on the defensive line, quickly shipped a conditional pick in the 2013 draft to the Eagles, and Bunkley has lined up with Denver's starting defense almost from Day One.

"I'm very happy to be here," Bunkley said. "Just the vibe around here, man, the city, the fans, the team, I'm not even thinking about what happened in Cleveland or anything like that. But I didn't know I was going to be traded. I spent some years (in Philadelphia), I kind of figured they weren't happy with my performance out there, so I kind of prepared myself for it. It's a business. Things happen." And what the Broncos got was a player athletically gifted enough to be a top 15 pick on most teams' draft boards in 2006 who played most of his career in Philadelphia under the radar for a consistent playoff team.

After a rookie season with only 13 tackles in 15 games, Bunkley had started at least 15 games in three of the four seasons until last year's elbow injury.

"He's going to give you effort upon effort," Dawkins said. "And he's a strong cat too. And finally he's just a great dude to be around, in the locker room, on the field, he's a big-time team guy."

Bunkley is ready to prove he can be as good as his draft stock.

"Last couple years have had some serious bumps in the road," he said. "But you look at this like a new beginning. This defense can be great for me if I hold my end."

Bunkley fit the Broncos' postdraft strategy. After addressing tight end, safety and linebacker in their draft class, the Broncos went shopping for defensive tackles. They were the land of opportunity for former first-round picks Bunkley, Ty Warren and Derrick Harvey. Warren and Bunkley had shown enough they were the projected starters at defensive tackle before Warren suffered a triceps injury last week.

"You have to have guys like that, guys like Buck," Dawkins said. "As much hype and pub the guys in the back end get, obviously starting with the corners outside, safeties getting more and more respect, a lot of that stuff starts with the guys up front. It takes away some of things we have to do if they handle it up front."

Broncos draft pick Carter hitting the books with kids

By Sarah Kuta The Denver Post July 1, 2011

At 6-foot-1, 208 pounds, Broncos safety Quinton Carter didn't quite fit into the miniature, navy blue chairs designed for children. But he sat down anyway for a "high five."

"What's going on?" Carter asked the wide-eyed 3-year-old with blonde pig tails who was painting a picture of a cat.

Carter, a 2011 fourth-round draft pick, visited KinderCare in Golden on Thursday morning to read "One Duck Stuck" to a group of about 30 4- and 5-year olds.

Carter played for the University of Oklahoma and adopted a KinderCare classroom that he visited at least once a week. As an OU sophomore, he created the SOUL Foundation: Serving Others through Unity and Leadership.

The book told the story of a duck stuck in the mud who asks all of the other animals for help. As individuals, no one animal can rescue the duck, but when they team up, they finally free the duck. Carter pointed out the importance of teamwork to the kids.

"He's stuck," Carter said with a chuckle. "You have to jump in the book and help him."

The boys and girls sat on a navy blue rug scattered with gold stars, listening intently and adding their own thoughts about how to free the duck.

After the story time session, Read. Share. Give., a book sharing program, donated 500 books to national nonprofit Reach Out and Read. The books come with bookmarks and a tracking code so that when parents hand the book off to a neighbor or friend, they can track its progress across the country.

"It's the future," Carter said of reading. "It's the start-off of education. It helps you with public speaking and talking. You have to read. We had countless books in my house." Still Growing

By Eric Detweiler DenverBroncos.com February 9, 2011

After finishing up his first full season as the Broncos punter, Britton Colquitt hopes he can keep improving heading into the 2011 season.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- As the youngest in a prolific family of punters, Britton Colquitt has plenty of special-teams wisdom at his disposal.

When thinking ahead to his first offseason as a full-time NFL punter, Colquitt -- whose father, older brother and cousin all have NFL punting experience-- recalled an anecdote from his father Craig's playing days.

"When my dad was with Pittsburgh, he said Gary Anderson, who was the kicker, wouldn't touch a ball until two weeks before the preseason started," Colquitt said with a laugh. "I'm not at that point in my career."

Even after producing the league's No. 10 yards per punt average in 2010, Colquitt knows he still has room for improvement. Heading into his third NFL season, Colquitt is as comfortable as ever and perhaps even more motivated to reward the Broncos for entrusting him with their punting duties.

The punter said he'll go back to work this offseason with an eye toward an even more impressive 2011 campaign.

"I did better with (consistency) than I have in my entire career, but I want to be even more consistent," Colquitt said. "That's the biggest thing as a professional athlete. You want to always be reliable."

Colquitt -- who spent one game on the Broncos active roster in 2009 but did not play -- entered last offseason in competition with A.J. Trapasso for the Broncos' punting job before heading into training camp as the team's lone punter. He said he'd welcome more competition this season but feels confident in his place on the squad after finishing 2010 with a 44.6 yards per punt average on his 86 attempts.

He enjoyed one of the best seasons in recent history for a Broncos punter, averaging more than 50 yards per punt six times during the season. That included a Dec. 12 performance at Arizona in which his 56.2 yard average on five punts set a new team single-game record for a road game.

Colquitt's first season as a full-time punter also featured a pair of chances to compete against his brother, Dustin -- who just finished his sixth season with Kansas City. As part of his effort to top that next season, Colquitt hopes to take a little more time off from kicking this offseason before resuming his regular preparation. The Tennessee product said he will use the extra down time to focus on adding muscle to his 6-foot-3, 205-pound frame.

"I've got these little chicken legs," Colquitt joked.

The punter said he'll soon start a strict regiment based around regular weight training and healthy eating with the goal of adding 10-to-15 pounds before next season.

On the field, he'd like to improve net punting average -- which ranked tied for 22nd in the league last season.

Those are just the next set of goals for a player who readily talks about his progress since the Broncos released him at the conclusion of training camp in 2009.

Thanks to a unique inner-circle in his punter-friendly family to help him along the way, Colquitt won't forget the hard work that will allow him to stay there.

Colquitt said he'd love to make Denver his long-term NFL home, and he feels like his 2010 season provided a good start toward that wish.

"Obviously, there's some kicks I'd like to take back and I wish I could've helped the team a little more," Colquitt said. "But I think this year was a good foundation, and I feel like it will really help me for next year and beyond."

Helmets Off: Eric Decker

By Eric Detweiler DenverBroncos.com February 3, 2011

Eric Decker sits down with DenverBroncos.com to discuss his rookie season and offseason plans in this week's edition of 'Helmets Off.'

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Eric Decker didn't catch his first NFL pass until Week 12 this season, but the rookie wide receiver was a steady contributor throughout the year.

Decker saw significant action on several special-teams units, including a stint as the team's primary kick returner. The 2010 third-round pick came on strong late as an offensive contributor with six catches for 106 yards. He capped off his rookie season in style, catching his first career touchdown pass in the Broncos' season- ending loss to San Diego.

As Decker began his first NFL offseason, he sat down with DenverBroncos.com to reflect on his rookie campaign and look toward the future.

How would you assess your rookie season? "I think I grew every week. I think special-teams-wise it was tough for me right away, but I learned how to play it and have success with it. Offensively, my role grew as my season progressed. I was happy with the progression I made. Hopefully, it's the start to many things in the future?"

What do you have to do to carry that progression into next season? "I just need to be prepared. It starts with conditioning and then just being ready mentally the whole way through. I'll keep watching film, taking care of my body and go through the offseason program. I just have to be dedicated to what I do."

What's the most important lesson you've picked up about how to be an NFL player? "I think it was how to prepare day in, day out. The days get long. Physically, it's long. They talk about the rookie wall. I definitely felt like I hit it at a certain point. It's about getting your needed rest and taking care of yourself mentally. The season is so long that you need to be prepared every day."

What's your best memory from your rookie season? "It started on draft day. That was a special moment for me and my family. Then it was just going through the roller coaster. You move to a new city with other rookies, learn the offense, have good times, bad times. I think I learned a lot through a season like this. You take a lot of things away that you can work, that you can improve on. At the same time, it tests your character and tells you something about yourself."

How are you approaching your first NFL offseason? "It's exciting for me to know I have some time off to do what I want -- recover physically and mentally. I'm going to take some trips, get away. I'm going to go to the mountains, then go somewhere warm for a couple of weeks. I'll go home and see the family. I'm just going to do things I didn't get a chance to do in the fall and a lot of the summer time. I'm looking forward to it."

Will you explore around here? "Definitely. It will be nice to get some free time to check out Colorado and really see what it offers. I'll go up to Breckenridge and Vail. It will be a lot of fun."

Have you talked to any veterans about what to expect from a pro offseason? "I definitely have. I think this year is going to be a unique one because of the CBA agreement and everything. I think the biggest thing is to kind of recharge the batteries, physically and mentally -- just shut down for a month after and recover. Once March rolls around and it's time to get back into it, you'll be ready to go for minicamps and OTAs."

What areas do you hope to improve in the offseason? "I think it starts with conditioning level. With my injury last year, I wasn't able to really get to where I wanted to in the offseason because I was doing a lot of therapy. The biggest thing is to make sure that physically I feel great, and then I think I want to keep learning how to study film. Little details are really what makes a difference at this level. I want to watch film, hit the weight room, take care of my body -- because that is my investment -- and just have fun, enjoy it."

After the grind of the season, what will it be like to wake up in the morning and know you don't have to think about football? "Man, I get to sleep in. That will be fantastic. Being able to plan your day around whatever you want to do is going to be pretty nice, too. It's going to be pretty weird because I've never had an offseason so to speak. I'm looking forward to seeing what it brings." Broncos' Orlando Franklin finding a home on the O-line

By Lindsay H. Jones The Denver Post September 4, 2011

Try to picture this for a moment.

Instead of Broncos orange and blue, what if Orlando Franklin were wearing the Avalanche's burgundy and blue? Instead of a massive pair of cleats, Franklin moved his 6-foot-7, 330-pound body on a pair of skates?

Franklin, the Broncos' massive rookie offensive right tackle, at least briefly tried to make it as a hockey player, a natural thought for a kid growing up in Toronto.

He played only one season of organized hockey, at age 14. He could skate and had the size, strength and mean streak necessary to be a defensive enforcer, but that one year on skates was enough for Franklin to realize that his true athletic calling was on grass, not ice.

By the time Franklin, who had been playing football in youth leagues in Toronto since he was 7, was 15, he was already growing into the type of body that makes college coaches go gaga, but he knew that to get a scholarship, he'd have to leave Canada.

"My mom up and moved just so I could play," Franklin said. "She always made sacrifices for me and my brother."

It wasn't the family's first move. Sylvia Allen left her native Jamaica when Franklin was just a toddler in order to get her two boys out of a poverty-stricken neighborhood in Kingston. She began working as an in-home health care aide in Canada and was able to find similar work in Boca Raton, Fla., when the family relocated in time for Franklin's junior year of high school.

He arrived at Atlantic High in Delray Beach much the same way he arrived in Denver after the Broncos selected him at No. 46 overall in the NFL draft: physically impressive but with raw football skills. The difference in talent and speed at the high school level between Canada and South Florida was staggering.

"It was hard at first. But as with anything, it can only get better with time," Franklin said. "I put a lot of work into it and got better."

Franklin quickly emerged as a blue- chip recruit and signed with the University of Miami in 2006. After sitting out a year for academic reasons, Franklin went on to play both guard and tackle in his four-year college career. The Broncos are hoping — and needing — Franklin to make a quick adjustment to the NFL. He has been the starter at right tackle since the first day of training camp, and has received lots of extra instruction on blocking technique from offensive line coach Dave Magazu, while his teammates constantly remind him of his in-game responsibilities.

After the offense breaks the huddle, right guard Chris Kuper, who at 28 is the line's most veteran player, is the first guy to remind Franklin of what his job is. Through the preseason, Franklin has been stuck to Kuper's side, and it is Kuper's voice that is constantly in Franklin's ear.

"(Kuper) is one of our smarter linemen and can make the calls real early for him," quarterback Kyle Orton said.

Orton also has taken extra interest in Franklin and puts in extra work to make sure Franklin is on track.

"They try to keep me on the page where I know exactly what I'm supposed to do. Kyle knows there are things I sometimes struggle with, so he'll point out — 'Big O, you got him,' or he'll actually say it in his cadence," Franklin said. "He takes pretty good care of me."

It's in Orton's best interest, of course, to make sure his rookie right tackle is up to speed.

The predraft scouting report on Franklin was that he was a superior run blocker, a physical player capable of handling double teams and driving defensive linemen backward. His pass-blocking skills needed refining.

"There are so many calls up front and so much communication going on, and there is so much going on while I'm snapping the football — because I like to play fast, you know — so he doesn't have a lot of time to process that information," Orton said. "He's always been a guy that when he knows who to block and how to do it, he'll get it done."

Franklin has good role models in helping adjust to life as a rookie starter. Left tackle Ryan Clady, center J.D. Walton and left guard Zane Beadles all were starters as rookies.

"It was tough at first, but it tends to get easier as the days go by," Franklin said. "I'm nowhere near where I want to be. I just have to continue to work at it."

Broncos' Franklin is ready to rumble

The Associated Press August 26, 2011

ENGLEWOOD • Broncos rookie right tackle Orlando Franklin is keeping it simple, trying to fend off onrushing defensive players one play, then attempting to send them reeling backward the next.

―I try to bring as much physicality to the game as possible,‖ Franklin said.

It was that same, nasty demeanor that initially piqued the Broncos’ interest while breaking down Franklin’s game tapes at the University of Miami before the draft. The team saw a player who wasn’t afraid to mix it up and throw his substantial weight around — 330 pounds in all on a 6-foot-7 frame.

There would have to be technical modifications, particularly operating in pass protection. But there also was enough evident athletic ability that it seemed possible that the footwork, hand placement and balance necessary to succeed as a pro guarding the edge could be developed.

At the same time, it kept coming back to Franklin’s physicality and power, explaining not only why Denver used a second-round pick on the rookie, but decided to insert him with the first-team offensive line from Day 1.

―I was kind of surprised, but they have a lot of trust in me,‖ Franklin said.

The rookie, who credits childhood wrestling matches with family members that involved lost teeth for helping provide some of his edge, spent the early part of the summer doing film study with the aid of guards Russ Hochstein and Chris Kuper, the latter a Denver team captain and linemate to Franklin’s immediate left on the No. 1 blocking unit. The two veterans helped Franklin grasp the varied schematic concepts being installed by new offensive line coach Dave Magazu.

Nonetheless, every day this summer remains an adventure for Franklin, like most first-year players indoctrinated into the pros, this summer in particular after no offseason workouts to fine tune mechanically.

―He’s really grown,‖ coach John Fox said.

Magazu often has told Franklin to continue following around Kuper like a puppy in order to properly continue his progression. Even Franklin admits that Kuper ―pretty much baby-sits me.‖

―Really, if Orlando just listens and becomes a technician he’ll be fine.‖ Magazu said. ―Kupe drives the bus and Orlando doesn’t have his license yet, so he sits and listens.‖

―We’ve got to keep working with him technically because every once in a while he’ll have a relapse and do some dumb things. Orlando will feel pretty good about himself and he’ll get out of the realm of what we’re trying to do. But they work well together as a team. And Orlando’s worked hard. He’s got to figure out exactly what it means to be a pro, but he’s on the right track.‖

This summer marks the second year the Broncos have opted to potentially live through the growing pains of a fresh-faced player on their offensive line. Center J.D. Walton and left guard Zane Beadles each were thrown into the fray as rookies in 2010 when Josh McDaniels was head coach.

The results weren’t always pretty, but the pair did learn valuable lessons along the way that can be applied to their second seasons.

Add in Kuper and left tackle Ryan Clady, and Denver’s offensive line remains the same from last season’s group save for Franklin, who replaced Ryan Harris — now with Philadelphia.

Haggan has love for home Mom, coaches kept NFL star on right path for success

By JoshTroy The Clarksdale (Miss.) Press Register February 2, 2011

Wednesday, February 2, 2011 8:00 AM CST

Mario Haggan may be an 8-year NFL veteran and a starting outside linebacker for the Denver Broncos at present, but he appreciates his past and finds ways to give back to his hometown.

The former Wildcat has positive memories of his days playing in high school at Clarksdale where he won a state championship as a senior in 1997.

“We always had a good program here,” Haggan said. “We ran into a few bumps the last couple of years, but we always had a good program.”

During the 1997 season, Haggan said he had 169 tackles and two fumble recoveries.

“I was the team captain, All-State linebacker, All-American center of the defense,” Haggan said. “There were a bunch of guys that had good numbers that year.”

Looking back, Haggan said his time with the Wildcats played an important role in his success. Nearly 15 years later, Haggan is still able to come home approximately three times a year. His mom, Wanda Burnett, still resides in Clarksdale.

“I receive a lot of support locally when I come home,” Haggan said. “I have people who tell me they are really proud of me and I appreciate it.”

In the Beginning

Originally, Haggan started playing football recreationally with a bunch of friends in his neighborhood, but as he got older he outgrew most of them. Football was a natural outlet that allowed him to use his size as an advantage.

“When I started playing at Higgins Junior High, that’s when I started to realize I had potential,” Haggan said.

He began to get looks from colleges early in his high school career and accepted a scholarship to play at Mississippi State.

Haggan tries to continually give back to Clarksdale holding football camps during the summer and he has also donated money to buy weights and equipment for the practice field at CHS. He is currently organizing a camp this summer along with another former Wildcat – now Arizona Cardinal – Trumaine McBride. “That’s the place I grew up,” Haggan said. “I’ll never forget the place that made me who I am. I love Clarksdale.”

Haggan said when he was a kid Billy Jo Fields and other individuals kept the Higgins Junior High School gym for youth league basketball.

“It kept a lot of kids out of trouble and off the street,” Haggan said.

Wherever he goes, Clarksdale will always be his hometown and close to his heart.

“I just want to send a shout out to the city of Clarksdale for all their support,” Haggan said. “I love them. I appreciate their support. Go Wildcats!”

Inspiration

Growing up, Haggan found guidance from leaders at school and within his family. With a strong maternal figure keeping him in check, and coaches that cared, he was able to surround himself with positive things and stay on the right track.

Haggan credits his high school head football coach Aaron Holden, his defensive backs coach Chuck Reed and former Wildcats defensive back Rocky Nabors, who played football before Haggan and is currently the Wildcats head coach.

“There’s a lot of people I’ve met along that have had a hand in my success,” Haggan said. “Too many to name, but they know who they are, and how much I appreciated there help.”

But the most critical was his mother; she gets the most credit for keeping him focused and out of trouble.

“That lady is built out of steel,” Haggan said, adding she was the biggest reason he was in the NFL. “I love her and it’s all for her.”

Haggan has kept that positive focus and he embraces being a role model for kids. He still tries to keep everything in his life positive and said that he was prepared again by his mother to be a positive role model.

“I try to live up to being an NFL football player every day,” Haggan said. “I have been given a great opportunity and want to let kids know that you can it done. You can come out of (Clarksdale) and do something positive.”

Haggan said that was the path he, McBride and his high school teammate Terrance Metcalf, who played for the , took to the NFL.

It’s about choices, and making the right ones. Haggan is the youngest of four children and has an older brother serving time in jail. He tried to learn from the mistakes his brother made, and not head down that same path. “I didn’t want that to be me, I wanted more for my life,” Haggan said. “I still love him with all my heart and what happened to him had a big affect on me.”

Life in the NFL

No matter what level of football Haggan has played at, he has been rewarded for his hard work.

At Mississippi State, he was an All-American, team captain and he earned All-SEC honors three times before becoming a seventh round draft choice by the Buffalo Bills in 2003. His 359 career tackles still ranks in the Top 10 for the Bulldogs.

In the NFL, Haggan has won the Darrent Williams Good Guy Award as chosen by the local media – an award named for the former Broncos cornerback who was killed in a drive-by shooting.

Haggan was also named to the USA Today All-Joe Team for the 2010 season. The award has been around since 1992 and is a tribute to Joe Phillips, a 14-year defensive lineman who did yeoman’s work for the Kansas City Chiefs that season.

But Haggan’s favorite honors were being voted by his teammates as captain in three of his eight seasons.

“All of them (honors) are important,” Haggan said. “but being voted team captain, and to get that vote of confidence and trust from my peers is a special thing.”

Haggan said his other top achievement in the NFL came during the 2010 seasons when he had three sacks for the Broncos at home against the Kansas City Chiefs in week 10. The Broncos won the game 49-29.

A different World

Growing up in Clarksdale may have prepared Haggan for higher levels of football, but he quickly learned how different the NFL was from high school or college. Most athletes that reach the pinnacle in their sports have a reckoning, a moment when they realize the stage they’re on. Haggan’s moment cam playing against Ray Lewis in his first NFL outing.

On the road playing with the Buffalo Bills against the Baltimore Ravens in the first game at M&T Bank Stadium, he caught his first glimpse of the larger-than-life lewis.

“It was my very first game out of the gate,” Haggan said. “To see him come out and do that dance, I knew I was in the NFL. Seeing a guy you idolize come out and do that dance, it was a special moment for me. It made me ready to go out and play.” Haggan admits that the speed of the NFL game took some getting used to. Everyone in the NFL is as good as the best player on any team.

“It goes up 10 times from college and 20 times from high school,” Haggan said.

“It’s different because it’s your job. It’s your life. It’s the last level. You’re not the big fish in a small pond anymore. You have to ask yourself, ‘What am I going to do to swim?’ All of the fishes are big.”

Overcoming obstacles

It all hasn’t been roses for Haggan, he was suspended for four games after the 2007 season for taking a water pill to lose weight. When taking the pill, he did not know it contained an illegal substance.

Following the suspension, he came back and played football for the Broncos in 2008.

“I was determined,” Haggan said. “After that I heard some criticism from people I never heard it from. I knew my opportunity was going to come. To get it you have to get through the tough times and I knew it was going to come.”

Haggan, who was a fan of the Washington Redskins and Atlanta Falcons growing up, earned his first opportunity to start with the Broncos and he had a career high of 87 tackles in 2010. He played on special teams with the Bills.

“It’s (playing for the Broncos) been great,” Haggan said. “It’s been an opportunity to be myself. I’m enjoying football right now. It’s a class organization where I want to finish up.”

Haggan hopes to get the Denver Broncos back to the playoffs.

“My goal for the Denver Broncos is to get to the big game (Super Bowl),” Haggan said.

Haggan said he still feels great and would likely play until he was pushed out. He added he is able to stay competitive by taking advantage of opportunities.

“I’m blessed,” Haggan said. “I just stay faithful. I just try to do the right thing on every occasion.”

After Haggan’s NFL career is complete, he hopes to go into broadcasting.

“I want to go to the network that enjoys my personality and takes care of my family naturally,” Haggan said.

Haggan has a wife Tanika, a son Mario Jr., and a daughter Taylor. He likes to bowl, travel and play golf. A Season of Changes

By Gabe Hiatt DenverBroncos.com February 2, 2011

Jason Hunter switched his position when he joined the Broncos, personifying a season of change for Denver.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- For the first time on a football field, Jason Hunter picked his hand up off the ground. When he signed with the Broncos before the 2010 season, Hunter abandoned the three-point stance, the jersey number in the 90s and the defensive end position altogether.

Hunter inhabited the trenches before the coaches converted him to a stand-up pass rusher in the 3-4, and the newly-minted linebacker adapted to the transition by finishing the year ranked third on the team in sacks and sixth in tackles. His 75- yard fumble return against Kansas City counted as the defense's only touchdown of the season.

After stints in Green Bay and Detroit, Hunter played in all 16 games at a new position for a new team in a new conference -- and after a mid-season head coaching change -- two new bosses. He quickly learned you don't last long in this league without the ability to learn on the fly.

"Change is always happening in the NFL," he said. "It's different coaches and different players. You just have to continue to adjust to the different things that come your way. The whole process has been like a unique learning experience. But it's one that's definitely going to make me a better player."

Entering his first offseason as a linebacker, Hunter plans to modify his regiment to reflect the demands of a position that potentially takes him from sideline to sideline on every snap.

"Now that I'm playing outside linebacker, it will be more outside linebacker-specific drills and just little things that I have to do in order to be successful," Hunter said.

While he said he plans to train at home in Charlotte, N.C., Hunter said he will make periodical returns to Dove Valley as the offseason progresses. He'll be packing just as many pounds onto his bench press, but said he has to serve himself a sparser plate at the buffet line.

The further you step away from the line of scrimmage, the less leeway you get at the dinner table. "I don't eat as heavy as I used to eat when I was a defensive end," Hunter said. "I definitely will still eat, but I have to be more cautious of the things that I eat."

Like a wrestler or a boxer making weight, Hunter now has to meet the lean demands of a position that might require him to bull rush an offensive tackle on one play and cover a slot receiver in space on the next. To elevate his play at linebacker, Hunter said he has to increase his fitness without sacrificing any punch.

"You definitely have to be in tip-top shape," Hunter said. "You have to be in tip-top shape for both, but mainly at outside linebacker you have to have great agility, great feet, great vision, good speed and you have to have strength as well."

Surviving in the league has brought Hunter to three different teams and two different positions. He did not start a game until his fourth year in the league, when he started nine games for the Lions.

Originally a college free agent from Appalachian State University, the versatile defender is still learning new ways to contribute in a league that stays constantly in flux.

"It's been a tough road," he said. "A lot of learning, a lot of adversity, but definitely one that's humbling.

"It's one that definitely makes you a tougher player, a tougher person and just makes you appreciate it a lot more once you get your opportunity." Irving Headed to Denver

By Gray Caldwell DenverBroncos.com April 29, 2011

With the No. 67 pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, the Broncos selected NC State inside linebacker Nate Irving.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- With the No. 67 pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, the Broncos selected NC State inside linebacker Nate Irving.

Irving was a leader on the Wolfpack defense in 2010, coming back after missing the entire 2009 season due to a single-car accident.

He suffered a collapsed lung, broken rib, separated shoulder and a compound fracture in his leg in the accident, and later told reporters that he felt "blessed" to be alive.

In a conference call with the Denver media, Irving said during his recovery from the accident, being drafted didn't even cross his mind.

"I put everything up in the hands of God, and I just did what I was supposed to do," he said.

After working his way back onto the field, he finished out his career with 92 tackles, 21.5 tackles for loss and seven sacks en route to third-team Associated Press All- America honors, first-team All-ACC honors and he was a ssemifinalist for the 2010 Butkus Award, which was won by fellow new Bronco Von Miller.

Now, the linebacker is looking forward to joining forces with a fellow college standout.

"I was looking at the earlier pick, and I saw Von Miller, and I'm just looking forward to getting out there and playing alongside him," Irving said. "With me in the middle and him on the edge, we could wreak some havoc on every offensive team in the league."

For his N.C. State career, Irving totaled 211 tackles, nine sacks, six forced fumbles, four interceptions and a defensive touchdown.

"For those people who don't know me, I'm just a physical linebacker who likes to impose my will and punish the ball carrier or get a blocker out of my way to get to the ball carrier," Irving said. "I am just ready go get started, play some football, and I will compete for a spot." Broncos' Kuper happy to get out on a field

Emily Bayci The Gazette July 7, 2011

Chris Kuper is aching to play football.

Luckily for the Denver Broncos’ offensive co-captain, he has a way to be on the field despite the current NFL lockout. Just disregard the fact that mostly everyone he is going against is a third of his size.

For the past few years, Kuper will volunteer at the 2011 Pro Football Camp, an annual youth football event coached by NFL athletes held July 12-15 at Colorado- Colorado Springs’ Mountain Lion Stadium. For the first time in while, Kuper does not feel burnt out when the camp rolls around.

“This is usually the time of year when everybody’s getting tired of playing football,” Kuper said. “But now I, and most other people, are just craving to do something.”

As of Wednesday, there were still open spots to participate in the camp and 11 current NFL players and eight former players were scheduled to coach.

Rich Griffith, a former tight end for the and founder of the camp, said it was much easier to get coaches this year.

“Right now, they’re just sitting waiting for something to happen,” Griffith said. “They are wanting to play right now.”

During the four days of camp, it’s not only coaching and playing the athletes partake in. Every day has a focus on key character traits with the athletes sharing personal stories. Kuper will focus on perseverance.

When he was younger, nobody thought he’d be able to play professional football because he grew up in Alaska. Duke Preston, former offensive lineman for the Dallas Cowboys who has been participating in the camp for years, talks about the most important character trait to him, integrity.

“The way you see the world, that’s such an important part of your attitude,” Preston said. “It doesn’t do anything for you if you’re self-centered. I like being able to mentor the kids. In our culture today, it’s really hard to find someone to look up to, to find a role model.” Griffith said there are lots of enthusiastic athletes out there who want to help others, but they are overshadowed by those with a negative image. He thinks the camp offers athletes a great opportunity to prove there are good influences.

He added that it’s not only the children who are affected by the camp. A few years ago, he had his own “Super Bowl moment” at the camp when he watched a camper with autism catch a pass.

“It was such a big moment for him, catching that pass,” Griffith said. “You could just see his confidence change and it just made being there feel perfect.”

Kuper said the energy of the campers and coaches is always strong, with the groups feeding off each other. He expects the camp to reach a new level this year, with the coaches having added enthusiasm.

“Because of the lockout, the camp will be even more exciting,” Kuper said. “There will be a higher energy, everybody is ready to play.”

Broncos linebacker Joe Mays beefs up for season

By Lindsay H. Jones The Denver Post June 14, 2011

It has been more than six months since Joe Mays strapped on a set of shoulder pads and a helmet and delivered the type of hit that a middle linebacker lives for.

And even though the football part of Mays' life is on hold because of the NFL lockout, at least he looks like a player ready to make a serious case to be the Broncos' starting middle linebacker — whenever the next season begins.

Mays is the Broncos' version of a post-spinach Popeye, having added 10 pounds of muscle to his 5-foot-11 body this offseason, seemingly all of it in his arms, shoulders and chest. He plans to slim down to his playing weight of 245 pounds at the season's start.

"I just want to come back in great shape," Mays said after a recent workout at the South Suburban Parks & Recreation Sports Dome. "I'm trying to get my body to where it should be so that I can hopefully start."

Mays likely will start training camp at the top of the depth chart at middle linebacker, though the battle between Mays and rookie Nate Irving, a third-round draft pick whom the Broncos rated as the top middle linebacker in the draft, should be one of the more intriguing in the preseason. Middle linebacker is one spot where the Broncos don't have a proven incumbent starter. Mays started five games for the Broncos last season, as an interior linebacker in a 3-4 defense, but played middle linebacker for the in 2008-09. Mays spent the last four weeks of 2010 on injured reserve after straining a ligament in his knee.

"We've seen them on tape, but we hadn't had a practice with them yet. Our (rookies) are the same, so we'll get a chance to watch them and see how they work. We'll see what their skill set is," coach John Fox said after the draft. "They'll define what their positions are."

The lockout might help Mays make his case.

He has spent the offseason in Denver with his wife and their two children and has been working out almost daily with safety Brian Dawkins since late March. Mays also has been a regular at the Dawkins-organized team conditioning workouts since May.

In addition, Mays met with Denver's new linebackers coach, Richard Smith, who followed Fox from Carolina, and new defensive coordinator Dennis Allen, and has a copy of the new playbook, luxuries that Irving couldn't have because of the labor situation.

"(Smith) told me what he was expecting out of his linebackers — fast, physical, aggressive, and he expects us to be the leaders of the defense," Mays said. "I've just been keeping that in the back of my mind, knowing that this is what he's going to expect when we come in."

Mays said he's willing to show the defensive playbook to any of his Broncos teammates who might not have one yet, and added he's going to help Irving as much as he can when the rookies show up for workouts in Denver.

Broncos coaches might not be able to watch any of this, or see his bulked-up offseason physique, but Mays is hoping that when the doors to Dove Valley reopen, the coaches will take notice.

"I want to succeed next year, so I want to be here and be working out with the rest of the guys that are in town," Mays said. "Whether that makes me a leader or not, that's for everyone else to decide. I'm just coming in and trying to be a good influence on the team."

Open competition

For the Broncos, no job is more wide open than middle linebacker when they head to training camp. The contenders:

Joe Mays: Fourth year; 5-foot-11, 246 pounds; five starts in 2010, 40 total tackles.

Nate Irving: Rookie; 6-1, 240; 6 1/2 sacks and 20 1/2 tackles for a loss as a senior at North Carolina State last season. Broncos' rookie LB Miller in rush to succeed

By Lindsay H. Jones The Denver Post August 14, 2011

Gloria Miller sat in the shade of a tent off the north end of the Broncos' practice field, waiting for her son to finish practice. Other players were coming by to see their families or heading to the locker room, but her boy, Von, wasn't among them.

Gloria looked around the field until she spotted Von, the Broncos' rookie linebacker, running 40-yard sprints by himself. A protective mother, Gloria's first thought was that her son was being punished, either by the coaching staff or by the veterans.

Veteran Joe Mays told her that he wasn't sure why, but Miller had just chosen to run on his own.

"I thought it was some secret society of the cookie monster, you know, where they can't say anything. I thought he was being hazed or something," Gloria Miller said. "But no, he really was just doing it on his own."

Miller understands the pressure he's under as the No. 2 pick in the draft — the highest selection in team history. He knows the Broncos were the worst defense in the league last year, with the fewest sacks and fewest forced turnovers, and he's determined to be part of an immediate solution.

"I knew that my job was a vital part of my college team, and it's the same here — my job is a vital part of the defense," Miller said.

That's why Miller has spent the first two weeks of his NFL career constantly trying to do more. More running after practice to help get his lungs used to the Colorado air. More time talking to his veteran teammates, in the locker room, on the sideline, in the huddle. More time watching film of practices to figure out what he's doing right, and more important, what he's doing wrong.

"I try to get extra time in, and I know it's going to take a lot of effort. My learning style is repetitive — I just need to do everything a lot," Miller said. "I'm trying to overdo it so it will stick."

Going the extra mile to learn

On the Broncos' only day off last week, Miller persuaded a teammate to drive him from the team hotel back to Dove Valley, even though assistant coaches were getting a rare night off. Around 8:30 p.m, Miller called linebackers coach Richard Smith at home, asking to talk about the tape from last Saturday's scrimmage.

"I've been doing this long enough, been in the NFL for 24 years, so I know when a guy is into it," Smith said. "And he's into it."

Smith and the Broncos' staff are trying to be patient with Miller and the team's other rookies, knowing that the lockout that wiped out the entire offseason program is affecting the first-year players more than any others.

Yet with Miller, there is a definite rush for him to play, and play well, right away, even as he learns to play a new position in the NFL.

At Texas A&M, Miller was a pass rusher, a role he perfected in a stellar four- year career. The Aggies' coaching staff would alter where Miller would line up — right side, left side, hand in the dirt, standing in the box — but the call was pretty simple: Go get the quarterback.

Here, the Broncos are teaching Miller to be a three-down defensive player, a linebacker who can defend the run or drop back in coverage as well as a down lineman who can rush the quarterback opposite Elvis Dumervil.

"Right now what we've seen, just from the first two weeks of practice, is that he's done a great job with that," Smith said. "He's made several plays on the ball just with his athleticism, and his concentration level and effort have been outstanding. Now he has to carry it over to the games."

A family affair in Dallas

Miller's NFL preseason debut Thursday night in Dallas was a quick one, only 10 snaps with the first-team defense, barely enough time for his nerves to settle.

With nearly 50 members of his extended family watching from inside Cowboys Stadium — about 25 miles away from his hometown of DeSoto — Miller made one solo tackle and one assist, though he seemed to be around every pile.

"It reminded me a lot of college football, you know?" Miller said. "I was able to gather my thoughts, analyze the plays my coaches were giving me and just execute. I think I played pretty good — I had one broken tackle that I want to get on film and watch, but other than that I played pretty good."

Miller's parents, Gloria and Von Sr., were waiting for him outside the visitors' locker room, where he finally emerged after changing out of his new blue No. 58 jersey and into a brown pinstriped suit. His socks and dress shoes concealed from his mother an actual incident of rookie initiation. "They put dye in my shoes, in my football cleats," Miller said. "When you run around, it seeps through your socks, it gets on your nails. So I've got blue toenails."

Broncos top pick Miller not afraid to get emotional

By Mike Klis The Denver Post April 29, 2011

NEW YORK — Standing in a sparse hallway in the bowels of Radio City Music Hall, Von Miller tilted his Broncos cap way back.

At least he didn't have to stand at attention while maneuvering his way through the intense spotlight that comes with the highest draft pick in the Broncos' 51-year history.

Never mind football for a moment. About those glasses. Fashionable eyeglasses, especially when sported with a sharp, gray suit with lavender shirt and tie. But to football fans who aren't accustomed to seeing a professorial look on the faces of their linebackers, Miller's glasses are so THERE.

"I've been wearing glasses since the third grade," Miller said. "I'm comfortable wearing them. Contacts work, but I have astigmatism in one eye, and it's just not as comfortable wearing contacts as it is wearing glasses."

The Broncos' newest franchise defender is extremely secure in his manhood. He's not afraid to wear glasses. And he's not afraid to cry.

There was a moment of uncertainty here Thursday night that may have tensed his feelings. After the Carolina Panthers immediately selected quarterback with the No. 1 draft choice, the Broncos went seven minutes before phoning in their selection of Miller at No. 2.

Sitting in a room just off the Radio City stage, Miller said he kept checking his cellphone, but it never rang. Finally, he looked up at Dad, who was sitting next to him. Dad's phone flashed "303."

The area code of relief. Miller's pent-up emotions released.

"He always has been emotional," Von Miller Sr. said. "He was a guy who never liked to lose. He's a very caring individual."

Miller Jr. covered his eyes with his right hand and wept. It took a few minutes to gather himself.

"I had a flashback all the way from Little League, seventh grade, 10th grade, college, all the way through," Miller said. "I just remember all those guys who told me no, and told me I can't. I'm just extremely happy to have the opportunity to get in the NFL and prove myself."

Becoming a stand-up guy

Tim De Ruyter was waffling. He had spent three years as defensive coordinator for his alma mater, the Air Force Falcons and coach Troy Calhoun. But Texas A&M coach Mike Sherman, who formerly led the Green Bay Packers, went hard after De Ruyter to come implement the 3-4 defense for the Aggies.

While De Ruyter was pondering life's next move, so was Miller. The junior defensive end had just led NCAA Division I-A with 17 sacks. Enter the draft and he would have been a first-round selection, if maybe not in the top 10. He came back, had 10 1/2 sacks and was the No. 2 overall choice.

"When Von decided to come back, that helped me make up my mind," De Ruyter said.

Step one to the new 3-4 in College Station was to give Miller his own position. Basically, De Ruyter converted Miller into the Aggies' version of James Harrison, the ' standout and former NFL defensive player of the year. Like Harrison, De Ruyter had Miller play a standup defensive end.

Then came step two.

"I had to name the position," De Ruyter said. "And if you get to know Von, you'll know he's a funny guy."

What some may call the Monster Back, or Rover, or Wolverine, Miller's position was called the "Joker."

"I like to have fun," Miller said. "That's just part of my personality."

Fun can be careless. It can also encourage. As part of a freshman hazing prank, the Texas A&M upperclassmen had all the first-year players shave their heads.

"Von shaved his head too, just to let the young guys know he had their back," De Ruyter said. "He's a great teammate. Whether you talk to Von in a group, or one- on-one, he's always about the team."

Dad deep-sixed exit from A&M

Miller talked about the adversity he has overcome. He never played the same position in back-to-back years.

"I don't have time to go through a documentary," Miller said. "But I'm telling you, playing football there's a lot of adversity." He got suspended from his freshman spring game by Sherman because Miller wasn't attending study hall or classes.

"I was immature when I first got to college," Miller said. "After I got booted from freshman spring game, I was going to transfer, but my dad talked me out of it. That's the best thing that ever happened to me."

For dad, it was a simple decision. Dad held the perspective of a small-business owner who makes his living selling batteries and backup power packs.

"I told him you signed a contract and when you sign a contract you make a commitment," Miller Sr. said. "And we Millers don't break a commitment. He signed a contract with Texas A&M and he wasn't going to break that contract."

Miller Jr. is a man who is not afraid to be humbled, to admit he was in the wrong. A man not afraid to put his name on a lawsuit filed against the NFL.

A man not afraid to show emotion when an NFL team calls his name. A man not afraid to sport the academic eyeglass look in a sometimes barbarian football culture.

"No, that's all part of being real," Dad said.

And Miller is not afraid to become the Broncos' new defensive face of their franchise. "I'll put it this way, if he's not ready," Miller's dad said, "he will be." Brady Quinn makes strides as Denver Broncos' backup quarterback

Not all business was hurt by the NFL lockout.

David Lee is in the business of coaching quarterbacks for going on 37 years. He once coached Tony Romo in Dallas, in Miami and, this past spring and summer, after he took a job as the University of Mississippi's new offensive coordinator, Lee moonlighted his expertise with the likes of famous Ole Miss alum Eli Manning, his more famous brother Peyton Manning and Broncos backup quarterback Brady Quinn.

"I'm going to tell you this right now: Brady Quinn has a stronger arm than both the Manning brothers," Lee said. "No question. I worked them all out."

Not that the Mannings don't have a few things on Quinn. Like their combined two Super Bowl championships, and 545 more touchdown passes and 75,572 more passing yards. Quinn begrudges none of the Mannings' accomplishments. All he wants is a chance.

During the past month of training camp at Dove Valley, the buzz about the Broncos has been Orton and Tebow, Tebow or Orton. But while the Broncos' quarterback drama between Kyle Orton and Tim Tebow has generated virtually all discussion around the Denver-area coffee machines, it was Quinn who outperformed them both in the team's first preseason game last Thursday at Dallas.

Orton led the Broncos to a field goal during his only drive. Tebow generated two field goals in 1 1/2 quarters. Quinn not only led the Broncos to two touchdowns, both touchdowns came in the fourth quarter.

When evaluating quarterbacks, extra credit should be given to touchdowns in the fourth quarter.

"I feel like I can compete with anyone, given a fair chance," Quinn said. "I mean, heck, throwing to (starting receiver) Brandon Lloyd every play? Give me that chance."

With a little more patience, Quinn may get his wish. It's difficult to ask patience of a guy who didn't play a down with the Broncos last year and has made only 12 starts since he was a ' first-round draft pick in 2007. But Quinn is closing in on his desire to lead a team full time, if not yet at the threshold. Since his splendid preseason performance at Dallas, Quinn has been alternating second-team reps in practice with Tebow. If Quinn can have another strong performance in the preseason game Saturday against the Buffalo Bills at Sports Authority Field at Mile High, who knows how the Broncos' quarterback rotation will shake out?

With the NFL no longer forcing teams to make a No. 3 quarterback designation on game day, there's a chance Tebow would be used for the occasional "Tebow package" plays, but Quinn would get the longer-term backup role.

And as backups are constantly reminded, they're just one play away from playing. Orton has missed at least one start to injury each of the past three seasons. With patience, the opportunity may well be there for Quinn. And if it's there, Quinn, more than in any other year, appears ready to capitalize.

"I don't know why it is, or exactly how to explain it, but Brady is much better this year than he was last year," Broncos star cornerback Champ Bailey said. "He just seems much more confident."

It started with the lockout. Disappointed with how the 2010 season carried on without him and unable to have contact with Broncos coaches during the lockout, Quinn took the initiative.

He first sought counsel from longtime NFL and college offensive coordinator Paul Hackett. They looked at film of Quinn's rookie year, which included a splendid preseason debut against the Broncos. Then they looked at film of Quinn's second year of 2008, when he made an impressive starting regular-season debut, again against the Broncos.

Then they looked at his third year, when Quinn's career moved beyond stalled and into a full-blown struggle.

"Paul went through process of where I was, what had happened, and why it happened," Quinn said. "I was contemplating making myself available for a baseball tryout, just for something to do during the lockout. I said, 'Hey, what do you think about this?' "

Hackett loved the idea. He wanted Quinn to play more golf, enjoy more leisure time, try out for the Rockies if he wanted.

"Good athlete, great character, leader, quarterback," said Rockies scouting director Bill Schmidt, who once used a 30th-round draft pick on a raw prospect named Michael Vick. "Yeah, we would have given him a tryout. I mean, let's be realistic, it's been 10 years since he played. I'm not sure how he would have liked riding the buses." Quinn eventually dismissed the baseball idea. No matter how far away No. 3 on the quarterback depth chart may seem, it's closer to The Dream than the Single-A South Atlantic League.

But that wasn't the point. The point was, Quinn was thinking beyond his isolated quest of becoming not just a starting NFL quarterback, but a great one.

"Paul believes in developing a quarterback first as a human being," Quinn said. "How you live off the field is as important as what you do on the field. He was really good as far as helping me with the psychology of playing quarterback."

His mind free, Quinn's next step was to tighten his mechanics. This is where Lee came in. Lee is big on shoulder and footwork technique that brings out the best in a passer's velocity and accuracy. There was a mechanical tweak here — Lee says Peyton Manning has the best lower-body fundamentals of any quarterback who ever lived — followed by 12 to 14 more workouts in Fort Lauderdale with several past and present .

By the time the lockout ended and training camp began last month, Quinn was a noticeably improved quarterback.

"I'm telling you what, I don't care what's going on up there, but Brady Quinn is ready," Lee said. "He's ready to play. Brady Quinn is not going to go away. He is hungry."

Denver Broncos Star Eddie Royal Hosts Football Camp Former Westfield standouts coach at free football camp

By Elton Hayes Centreville Patch (Centreville, VA) July 17, 2011

For several fun filled hours Saturday, young football players had the unique experience to play the game with collegiate and professional athletes. Westfield High School alum and current Denver Bronco standout, Eddie Royal, hosted a football camp at Westfield which drew more than 200 enthusiastic kids. Participants laced their cleats and donned football gloves for the enviable opportunity. “It feels great to be able to come back and do something positive for the community, and to see how happy it makes the kids. I have fun doing it, but it’s all about the kids,” said Royal. Royal, the Chantilly Youth Association and Westfield High School teamed up to offer the free football camp for area kids. The event consisted of two sessions: a morning camp for those aged 7-14 and an afternoon camp for those 15-18. Kids were treated to a surprise as former Penn State running back and current Washington Redskin (Westfield ’06) showed up for coaching duties. He was joined by former Virginia Tech quarterback Sean Glennon (Westfield ’04) and former Syracuse wide receiver Donte Davis (Westfield ’05). “I’m glad that big stars come out and do things like this for other people. I enjoyed it. I think it was a pretty great experience,” said Winston Willard, camp participant and Westfield linebacker. Under the guidance of coaches, athletes gathered on Westfield’s professional grade turf football field and dug in their cleats. Wide receivers ran routes as quarterbacks threw passes during the camp’s afternoon session. Defensive backs worked on footwork and learned proper techniques and correct pursuit angles. “It was very instructive. There were a lot of experienced players. The coaches really helped the players one-on-one, and fixed our form and technique,” said camp participant Duncan Roberts, rising Westfield freshman. In addition to offering valuable professional coaching tips and techniques, Royal and coaches challenged players to friendly games of pickup football. For a brief moment, memories of the 2004 Bulldog football team were recalled. "It's really cool for us to be able to come back. It feels good to be back on this field. It's changed a little bit, but it's still the same place to us. We have so many memories here," said Royster. With Glennon lined up at quarterback, Royster in the slot and Royal at wideout, camp participants were challenged to prevent the former Westfield players from completing passes. Much to the amazement of onlookers, some of the camp’s defensive backs rose to the occasion and broke up a few of Glennon’s passes to his former Bulldog teammates. “It’s fun to get some live reps. I don’t get as many these days so I’m having fun,” said Glennon, who now works in the financial industry. Despite the fact they were offering instruction, coaches were jovial and connected with campers. They offered encouragement and frequently laughed and joked with the young athletes as all seemed to have a great time. While the kids and coaches enjoyed themselves on the field, delighted parents watched from the stands. “I think it’s a good idea to have kids see what a professional football player’s attitude and demeanor is like. I think that they can learn a lot from his presence,” said James Willard. Between breaks and after the camp, Royal eagerly signed footballs, shirts and camp flyers. He also chatted at length and posed for pictures with kids and parents. Those who participated in Saturday’s camp will not only remember the tips and advice offered by their coaches, but the great time they had. For Royal, the opportunity to return home and give back to his community is something he cherishes. “My fans are so passionate and that means a lot to me. I want to show them how much they mean to me by coming out here and doing something like this. I wish I could do it more often,” said Royal. “Today was a great day," he said. "I’m happy that it all worked out and that the kids had a good time.” Tim Tebow's autobiography, "Through My Eyes," offers closer look at Denver Broncos quarterback

By Lindsay H. Jones The Denver Post June 2, 2011

Tim Tebow penned a 257-page love letter.

Not to a woman, of course — the Broncos' 23-year-old quarterback remains quite single. But his autobiography, "Through My Eyes," is devoted to his three great loves: God, his family and Florida football.

Sorry, Broncos fans. You will have to hope for a sequel to get any inside information on your team.

Tebow's first book, released this week by HarperCollins and co-authored by Nathan Whitaker, details Tebow's childhood in the Philippines and Jacksonville, Fla., his high school football career and his legendary career at the , where he won the in 2007 and played on national championship teams in 2006 and 2008.

Tebow, a first-round pick in the NFL's 2010 draft, and Whit-aker began writing the book last September and finished the rough draft in mid-December. They added the last half of the closing chapter to include Te-bow's three starts that completed his rookie season with Denver.

"So many people have tried to tell my story so many different ways, so it's kind of fun to be able to tell it how it really happened through my eyes. That's why I named it that," Tebow said recently.

Reading his book is almost like having a conversation with him.

Tebow shares personal family stories, including several pages about the well-known story of his mother Pam's difficult pregnancy when she was advised by doctors to have an abortion. But there are funny stories too, mostly at the expense of Tebow's older brothers, Robby and Peter, or of himself, in a rarely seen self-deprecating sense of humor.

"All week, (the Oklahoma) defense was talking trash, saying that I would have been only the sixth-best quarterback if I had played in their conference, the Big 12. I found that hurtful and upsetting; I was sure that I would've been at least fifth," Tebow wrote, joking about the 2008 Bowl Championship Series title game won by the Gators. Tebow's Christian faith is weaved throughout the book's 21 chapters, each starting with a Bible verse. He wrote that he leaned on his faith in December when the Broncos fired coach Josh McDaniels , whom Tebow called his "biggest supporter" in Denver.

"I dealt with the uncertainty the way that I've always tried to: I don't know what the future holds, but I know who holds my future," he wrote. "That's what gives me hope and peace and is what I lean on."

Tebow revealed in the book that he was at times discouraged by not playing while the Broncos were struggling last year, and that the plan was for him to start only the final two games — both in Denver. Kyle Orton 's bruised ribs pushed that timetable up by a week.

If you're looking for dirt, you won't find any.

The most salacious tidbits come late in the tome and are quite tame. Tebow reaffirmed his plan to abstain from sex until marriage. Tebow was asked a question about that in front of 700 reporters at the football preview in 2009, before his senior season at Florida. While admitting in the book that he found the question inappropriate, he wasn't ashamed to answer it.

Tebow also addressed some hot issues, writing that the NCAA should consider paying college athletes (he said he had to scrimp to afford Christmas presents for his family even though the Florida athletic department was making plenty of cash) and reconsider the BCS (he admitted feeling badly for the 2008 Utah team that finished undefeated while his Gators were crowned national champions).

Tebow also admitted to playing despite having headaches two weeks after a severe concussion in 2009. Tebow said Gators coach Urban Meyer told him not to play, but Tebow lied by saying he wasn't having headaches anymore.

"I was praying in the locker room that the headache, which had been getting worse and worse, would simply go away," Tebow wrote. "It didn't."

"Through My Eyes" had climbed to No. 22 on Amazon.com's best-seller list Wednesday night. Fans can pick up a copy at Tebow's two Front Range book signings this weekend: at 4 p.m. Saturday at the Tattered Cover's downtown Denver location and at 4 p.m. Sunday at the Sam's Club in Colorado Springs
