The Legendary #7 – John Elway Netflix Documentary

You can't mention your love of the Denver Broncos without mentioning John Elway. He's a Colorado legend; winner of two Super Bowls and the winner of the hearts of Broncos fans across the country. With a  Netflix about him being on Netflix, the whole world will be finding out more and more about him.

In 1982, after being drafted by the Baltimore Colts, he said he'd rather be a garbage collector than play for that team. Luckily, he didn't have to stay with the Colts and Denver got him as one of their quarterbacks for the 1983 season. Steve DeBerg had been named starting QB into that season, but injured his shoulder, so Elway stepped in. A few seasons later, Elway would lead the team to its third Super Bowl in 1987; though they lost that game, he would be back four more times in his career. When they won those back-to-back Super Bowls in 1998 and 1999, Denver and the entire state went crazy.
