June 28 Football Historic Events
Today, June 28th, throws a flag for a double dose of football fun! We celebrate the birthday of a legendary quarterback, John Elway, and take a trip down memory lane with a memorable Denver Broncos moment.
Happy Birthday, John Elway! The Broncos icon and current EVP/General Manager turns another year older today. Elway's illustrious career as a player cemented his place in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and his leadership continues to shape the Broncos' future.
Broncos on the Big Stage! June 28th also marks the anniversary of Peyton Manning's retirement press conference in 2016. Manning, another Broncos legend and Super Bowl champion, announced the end of his incredible career, leaving a lasting impact on the team and the league.
So, whether you're a die-hard Broncos fan or simply appreciate football greatness, there's plenty to celebrate on June 28th!
