John Elway was the exception to almost every NFL rule. He was one of the most highly touted college athletes ever. He was the first pick in the draft. Then he played sixteen years for the same team. He avoided major injuries. He went to a million Pro Bowls. He won league and Super Bowl MVP, respectively, the latter in one of his five World Championship games. He won two rings, at the ages of thirty-seven and thirty-eight. Then he retired. That won’t happen again. But in Denver, it fucking better!
