"John Elway's done a phenomenal job," Billups told the team's official website in 2016. "[He's] one of my friends, I'm so happy for him." On "NBA Countdown," Billups said the Broncos are the greatest team in NFL history.

After a wild season with the Broncos in 2011, Tim Tebow was traded to the Jets for a mere seventh-round pick, and Denver signed free agent superstar Peyton Manning.

Hudson told the "TODAY" show in 2016. Hudson attended Super Bowl 50 and posted "And then.....we won!!!!!!" on Instagram following Denver's victory.

Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the creators of "South Park," are both big Broncos fans, which is why many of the charters in the show are also Broncos fans.

After the accident, Van Dyken "vowed to continue rehabilitation and not let the accident redefine her," according to CBS4 in Denver.

NBA All-Star Jimmy Butler is friends with ex-receiver Demaryius Thomas and linebacker Von Miller (of course), which makes him a pretty notable Broncos fan. Butler predicted in 2016 that Denver would win back-to-back Super Bowls, but the Broncos failed to make the playoffs that season.
