There are several candidates for the title of best player to ever wear No. 15 for the Denver Broncos.
Former quarterback Tim Tebow had a memorable two-year run with the team from 2010-2011, helping the club win a Wild Card playoff game.
Fellow quarterback Marlin Briscoe played just one season in Denver in 1968, but it was a historic season. Briscoe became the first Black quarterback to start in pro football’s modern era. He threw 14 touchdown passes in 1968, which still stands as a franchise rookie record. Briscoe died at age 76 last year.
Former wide receiver Brandon Marshall played in Denver from 2006-2009. In four seasons, Marshall earned two Pro Bowl nods. He totaled 327 receptions for 4,019 yards and 25 touchdowns in 61 games with the Broncos. Marshall later spent time with seven other teams and finished his career with 12,351 receiving yards and 83 touchdowns.
Another candidate is former kicker Jim Turner, who played in Denver from 1971-1979. After winning a Super Bowl and earning two Pro Bowl nods with the New York Jets, Turner played the final nine years of his career with the Broncos. He ranks third on Denver’s all-time scoring list with 742 points. Turner, a member of the Broncos’ Ring of Fame, died at age 82 last month.
