This was an interesting group: thirteen players wore #61 over a period of thirty-nine years, one defensive lineman (a DT) and twelve offensive linemen (a center, eight guards, two tackles and one general offensive lineman). They played anywhere from a single season to twelve seasons. Four were undrafted and five were drafted by other teams before coming to the Broncos. They had anywhere from no starts to 151 starts.
