Denver Broncos Greats... By The Numbers: #99

It's been quite a journey through the history of jersey numbers for our beloved Denver Broncos, but sooner or later, all journeys must end. This one began as an idea from our esteemed leader John Bena (that's Ben-Nay) around 3 years ago. It was twice started, but then fizzled sadly due to off-season drama. That is not to say this off-season has been a vacation, but the fact that an idea has been completed is an accomplishment in itself despite the drama. Thanks to all of you who have stuck around to see it through and thanks to Brian, Jezru and Troy for picking up the slack when I would have faltered.

Today we come to #99. There were twelve players who wore the #99 jersey for the Denver Broncos in team history. Five Defensive Ends, five Defensive Tackles, a Nose Tackle and a Linebacker. Here is the last lineup, the candidates for the accolade of Greatest Bronco to wear #99.

       Kevin Vickerson DT 2010        
Raylee Johnson DE 2004
Daryl Gardener DT 2003
Montae Reagor DE 1999-2002

Denver Broncos Greats... By The Numbers: #97


Ten players wore #97 for the Denver Broncos in team history. With one exception. All-Pro Defensive End/Linebacker Karl Mecklenburg wore the number for a single game. During week 12 in Los Angeles. The Raiders shut out the Broncos 24-0. Legend has it that the number was cursed and the Bronco organization reversed the Mojo by changing their uniform design. It obviously worked because the team promptly won two Super Bowls. They also brought in a Lucky Charm to get them back to the Big Game. His name? Well, you'll have to read through the article, because he is the Greatest Bronco to wear #97. The rest of the lineup goes like this.

Boss Bailey LB 2008
Simeon Rice DE 2007
Demetrin Veal DT 2004-06
Keith Washington DE 2001-02
Mike Lodish DE 1995-2000
Darren Drozdov DT 1993-94
Bruce Klostermann LB 1987-89

Denver Broncos Greats... By The Numbers: #93


Talk about short and sweet. Number 93 for the Denver Broncos was represented by a mere five players in the history of the franchise. Four Defensive Linemen and a Linebacker. Sorry to disappoint everyone, but this is a "No-Brainer." That's okay though, because you're going to be tending the Barbecue anyway and won't have that much time to spare. While I'm at it, I would like to wish everyone a Happy Independence Day and a special Thank You to all the people who have served our country in the past and and are doing so presently. Here are the 5 candidates in line for the Greatest Bronco to wear #93.

Nic Clemons DT 2008
Antwon Burton DT 2006-07
Trevor Pryce DE/DT 1997-2005
James Jones DE 1995
Ronnie Haliburton LB 1990-92
