And the Denver Broncos, with their number three pick in the 1983 draft select...John Elway. The young rookie, standing six feet, three inches tall and one hundred ninety-three pounds, joyfully stood center stage accepting his new jersey. He was selected for his perfect quarterback build and his amazing skills on the field. Scouts were appauled at the way this man could see the field and read defenses. These skills brought him into this league, but it is the skills that he developed and the struggles that he went through that would give hime the title of "The greatest quarterback ever." In his first couple of seasons, John Elway was know for throwing a plethora of interception, giving him a bad name quickly. He would panic when the rush would come and just toss it up for grabs. While Elway was busy throwing interceptions, there were two other rookie quarters in the league doing phenominal. Dan Marino and Jim Kelly were astounding the nation with the numbers that they were putting up every game, mak
Elway was running, passing, or even taking a sack instead of throwing an interception, showing the world that he had what it took to be named the leagues MVP. " In the 98'-99' season, John put together another astounding season, throwing for more touchdowns than ever. Elway led his fellow Broncos to the promise land again in 99', beating the Atlanta Falcons. Above all of these records and titles that this all-time great has held, the most important statistic is that he has owned the World Championship. The whole Broncos team came together to win fifteen of their sixteen games, losing only to the Miami Dolphins. Elway is in the top three in almost every quarterback statistic, including fourth quarter comebacks, career victories, rushing attemps by a quarterback, and much, much more. He threw less and less interceptions each year and dramaticly improving his accuracy and his pass completion percentage. John also was named NFL MVP two times, while also being named AFC MVP twice. Would John Elway return next season to try for back-to-back championships. However, in 89', he would lead his team to the championship game, and eventhough he lost he showed great promise for the future.
