John Elway
John Elway was a Denver Broncos quarterback from 1983 to 1998. Originally drafted by the Baltimore Colts but traded to Denver before playing for the Colts. Elway was a baseball player and quarterback at Stanford University.Elway finally won a Superbowl in 1997 season after three previously failed attempts. In 1998, his team repeated this feat and he was awarded the MVP of Super Bowl XXXIII.
Elway is regarded as one of the top three quarterbacks to ever play the game. He was always a comeback king and a winner, though not a statistic record breaker.
Elway holds the record for most game-winning or game-tying scoring drives in the 4th quarter or overtime? Surprisingly often, if John Elway had the ball late in the 4th quarter and was within a touchdown, he would tie or win the game. John Elway had many comeback opportunities because, for most of his career, the Broncos were a good team, but not a dominant team.
His number 7 jersey has been retired by the Denver Broncos.
