## Resource

Craig Morton, a Broncos Ring of Fame quarterback, passed away on May 9th. He joined the team in 1977, leading them to their first playoff run, AFC Championship, and Super Bowl trip. Drafted by the Cowboys in 1965, Morton brought veteran experience to the Broncos, orchestrating playoff wins over the Steelers and Raiders. His grit helped shift the Broncos from also-rans to contenders, earning him AFC Offensive Player of the Year honors. He set franchise records in passing yards, touchdowns, and more, with numbers later smashed by John Elway. Morton started two Super Bowls and was inducted into the Ring of Fame in 1988, kicking off Denvers golden era. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
