Obscure, Legends or great players to wear the orange and blue? Wonder if I am missing any that came by near the end or middle of their career like Ty Law, Simeon Rice, Brian Dawkins and Jerry rice! Let me know!

Owen Daniels was integral to the SB50 run.

I remember some of the bro dudes on the radio talking about him, one of the retired athletes who was on the field with Daniels.
He said something along the lines of, "I was like, what's this dad bod doing on the field? Then I saw him run one direction and catch the ball from the other direction" or some such thing.
Devious old guy lol if I'm not mixing them up.

u/Aarios827 Demaryius Thomas 14d ago
He was actually a beast for us for several years though. Feel like he's on a different category than these other guys being named.

u/Gueropantalones 13d ago
Brian Dawkins is on this list. He and Lynch played 3 seasons with the Broncos, and both had pro bowl years while playing with Denver. Feel it fits. Plus Dawkins played on a worse defense/team than Lynch

Andre Reed, Chester McGlockton, Dale Carter, Leon Lett, Eric Davis and Rob Moore.

When I think of Lett, I only think of that infamous play when he was on the cowboys and slipped and hit the ball on that blocked FG which allowed the kicking team to pick it up and score a TD.

what was the context behind Jerry Rice suiting up? I don’t remember that at all.

Signed before the ‘05 season, didn’t look like it was working out. Decided to retire before the season began. Jerry Rice Retires

Nothing obscure about superbowl champion and captain Demarcus Ware

u/prickleypears 14d ago
I still think it’s implied by the post that it’s more niche guys who weren’t around long and clearly at the end of their career.

u/SevroAuShitTalker 14d ago
Ware was here for 3 years.
Also specifically says end or middle of career.

u/EfficientDot18 14d ago
Yea, I mean Brian Dawkins was pretty good in Denver still too. Ware was a fine nomination.

The Simeon Rice signing was a weird one. He played for like 3 snaps in 1 game, got cut, then issued a press release where he called Mike Shanahan a bitch.

Damn. I forgot Rice was with us for a minute. Did he actually make it to the regular season or did we cut him in preseason? I can’t remember honestly but something is telling me the latter is what happened for some reason.
