Bronco Daily Fun Facts And Trivia

[Canmore]

Here's the Back To The Future trivia question:

Who was the best Broncos draft pick taken in this year's draft, based on round taken and all other intangibles?

I will award points in a few years....or more....or soonafter answers are received, for fellow time travellers.

Chubb or Freeman. Chubb is the easy answer since he never should have been available at pick number five. I like Royce Freeman though. This year we have a running game.

If I say that you are correct, some folks might get anxious about my "powers", so lets just say I need a few years to assess.

Give an example of a Bronco who proved he could play O, D and Special Teams in a game.

Dennis Smith. He'd play safety, on special teams and on offense on "Hail Mary" plays.

I do not have him as my correct answer...can you provide specifics of a game situation? Thx!

Spencer Larsen at Atlanta 16 November 2008: Fullback, Linebacker and KO team.

WINNER!!!

On November 16, 2008, in a Broncos 24-20 road win over the Atlanta Falcons, Spencer Larsen became the first NFL player since 2003 (and only the fourth since 1990) to start a game on both offense (fullback) and defense (linebacker). The positions fullback and linebacker both involve considerably more contact than the wide receiver / cornerback positions played by other modern two-way players such as Troy Brown, Deion Sanders, Julian Edelman, and Champ Bailey. He also played on special teams during the game, including the opening kickoff. Larsen earned Diet Pepsi NFL Rookie of the Week honors for the first time in his career for his performance against the Falcons.

Again, not the answer I had...but if you can provide specifics on a game situation where he played all 3 facets of the game, I'll definitely listen!

[Peanut]

I seriously would like that! As you know, I am not the reason for this thread continuing. I said I'd partner with my pal Lum, but he is extremely busy these days, so I am trying to keep this flame alive. And to be honest, it is challenging finding great questions, those that one can not easily find online. It was much easier asking trivia questions back in the day, when most answers were from a person's memory rather than via google or whatever.

I've actually been a little vague at times with certain questions, because I feel the questions would be too easy to solve otherwise. My thinking is, if people guess I can at least gauge what clues to provide, to make it fairer.

So sure...if you send 'em, I will gladly accept them. If I do not use them, please understand.

I have not forgotten. Just can't find anything good, yet.

Not sure if he covered all 3 facets of the game...within 1 specific game, but his versatility is worth a pat on the back (from me to you)!:thumb:

CPs included.

Sorry, D. Bit by bit…things are moving forward. Hopefully when TC starts, I’ll be at Dove Valley and back in the saddle.

Here’s a lightning round trivia (with a side of mayo) ~

This wide receiver was serving up the fixings at a sammich shop, on the ultimate comeback route, just one year before being signed to Denver’s 53 man roster.
