More than 50 Broncos players attended a Black Lives Matter march in Denver on Saturday. Not everyone was in town when the march was planned and some players traveled to Colorado to participate.
Broncos star outside linebacker Von Miller was training in San Francisco on Friday and flew to Denver to attend the march on Saturday, according to KUSA-TV’s Mike Klis. Miller then traveled back to California on Saturday.
Broncos tight end Nick Vannett also traveled to Colorado for the march.
“I had the great pleasure of flying to Denver to support my teammates with their feelings and supporting the movement to promote change that’s necessary,” Vannett tweeted on Saturday.
“It’s beyond incredible to see the mix of races in the crowd of protests. I really believe change is coming.✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼#BLM.”
Not everyone was able to make it in person. Broncos offensive tackle Calvin Anderson voiced support from afar.
Extremely proud to be apart of a team that is willing to stand against injustice ✊🏿
Hurt that I couldn’t be there physically, but incredibly inspired by the willingness to support black lives.#BroncosCountry https://t.co/2nvh21SZaS

On Friday, Broncos general manager John Elway said he is joining the team’s players, coaches and organization in “speaking up against racism, police brutality and any injustice against the black community.”
