What Cameron Parker is thankful for

1. John Elway

There are plenty of things to be thankful for regarding the Denver Broncos. We start first with John Elway. Yes, the man under so much scrutiny and a microscope. While no one is perfect, Elway gave the team lasting memories in uniform and as a front office executive. As a quarterback Elway won two Super Bowls back to back helping make Denver one of the best teams ever.

As an executive he orchestrated off-seasons making the Denver Broncos Super Bowl contenders. He understands the importance of win now and win from now on. The struggle is maintaining it, but we know it is eating Elway up seeing the product on the field, but we should be thankful he made the Broncos a winning franchise.

I’m thankful for John Elway because he helped make a funny memory for me during Super Bowl 32. We were living in Virginia at the time and attended a close friend’s house to watch Broncos v. Packers. I wore a Broncos Elway jersey under my jacket. Took off my jacket and my friend who was rooting for the Packers stopped, saw my jersey, then proceed to cheer for Denver. Rest is history.
