Denver Broncos Greats... By The Numbers: A Kicker From The 1960's

by John Bena on Feb 11, 2011 12:23 PM MST in Denver Broncos Greats...By The Numbers

The Candidates -

Britton Colquitt - 2009-Present
Darrell Hackney QB 2007-2008
Micah Knorr P/K 2002-04
Ruben Rodriguez P 1992
Chris Norman P 1986
Robert Thompson WR 1987
Rick Duncan K 1967

Do I really have to choose?? Sure, Micah Knorr could be a choice, simply because he was a Bronco the longest. That's no fun, however, but neither is trying to find any information about the other guys on the list.

Darrell Hackney is a fun choice, but I though I would go a different direction.

Thus, for me, when in doubt, revert back to the (not so) good ole' days in Broncos history, the 60's, and pick the place kicker that appeared in just 2 games for the Broncos, attempting a total of 5 FG's, converting only 2. That's right, some teams have names like Brett Favre that top their list of greats that wore #4. For the Broncos, it's almost as good....

The (not so)Greatest Bronco To Ever Wear #4 --

Rick Duncan, K - 1967

I know, you guys were hoping for a photo. Unfortunately his stay in Denver, and the AFL/NFL was too short for anyone to get a confirmed sighting. Such was football in Denver in the 60's.

I heard he now lives in the highly forested area of some state park. Where people reference him to the beloved Saskatchewan friend called Big Foot.

So the dude was a Yellowjacket for Eastern Montana (now known as MSU-Billings)

I guess I can take a certain amount of pride in that.

ouch. tough number.

we need to draft us a new #4 by all means. i think i would’ve gone with darrell hackney because i shook his hand at training camp one year. he was a good natured, likable guy with a big “just happy to be here” smile pasted on top of a squatty solid bowling ball frame.
