5 best Broncos who never won a Super Bowl

It’s heartbreaking that these Broncos legends never won a Super Bowl ring.

As we come to the close of another NFL season following Super Bowl LVII on Sunday, we take a look back at some of the best Denver Broncos who never won a Super Bowl.

This Tim Tebow stat is crazy but true

Tim Tebow is the quarterback drafted by the Broncos who has won a playoff game.

Earlier this month, a graphic about Tim Tebow’s crazy stat with the Denver Broncos went viral on social media.

“Tim Tebow is the only QB in Broncos history to be drafted by the team and win a playoff game,” ESPN’s NFL account wrote on May 3.

That might sound hard to believe, but it’s true.

Peyton Manning, who helped Denver dominate the AFC West from 2012-2015, signed with the team as a free agent. Manning reached two Super Bowls with the Broncos, winning one of them.

Jake Plummer, who helped Denver reach the AFC Championship Game in 2005, joined the team during free agency in 2003.

John Elway, who won two Super Bowls with the Broncos, was acquired through a trade with the Baltimore Colts in 1983.

Craig Morton, who helped Denver reach the Super Bowl in 1977, was acquired by the Broncos in a trade with the New York Giants.

Tebow, who helped Denver defeat the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Wild Card round of the 2011 playoffs, was selected by the Broncos in the first round of the 2010 NFL Draft.

Fans in Denver are hoping that Drew Lock, a second-round pick last year, will join Tebow on the list of drafted QBs who have won in the playoffs.
