Denver Broncos: 4 great individual seasons that are largely forgotten

Great players almost always show up and produce. But when a player comes out of nowhere to have a huge season, it is oftentimes even more fun.

When John Elway or Peyton Manning had a Pro-Bowl year, hardly anyone was surprised. The same went for Terrell Davis, Rod Smith and Champ Bailey and it has come to be expected of superstars such as Von Miller.

But across the last 20 seasons, four players have put together some of the best individual seasons on record in Broncos history and for the most part, they are rarely ever discussed.

That could be for a variety of reasons.

For the most part, each of these players put together these seasons on some pretty bad Broncos teams. In addition, none of these guys are synonymous with Broncos history and thus, are hardly ever celebrated.

But that doesn’t mean they don’t deserve to be remembered.

Some may call these seasons one-hit wonders or a product of Denver’s system at the time, but that doesn’t make them any less impressive.

So let’s shine some light on them. Let’s bring some of these solid seasons back to the forefront and help remind Broncos fans out there that these seasons did take place, even if they did not help lead the team to a Super Bowl victory.
