Denver Broncos: The best receiving backs in team history
Floyd Little
Floyd Little was the first superstar in Broncos history and he remains one of the best overall players the team ever had to this day.
Behind only Terrell Davis in terms of best running backs in team history, Little was the best receiving back the team ever had. His 215 career receptions are tops among all Broncos backs and still rank at 16th overall in team history.
Much like Sewell, Little never had a huge receiving season, but he was always player defenses had to be wary of as a receiver. The most catches he had in one season was 41 but he was usually good for a couple of catches per game.
He also had 2,418 receiving yards and nine touchdowns before his playing career came to an end.
Little obviously posted huge numbers in the running game and held the all-time team rushing record for many years before Davis broke it, but his contributions in the passing game should not be overlooked.
Many players are good at running the ball and some are actually better receivers than they are rushing the ball. But Little was a complete football player who could do a little bit of everything.

His 215 career receptions have a chance to stand as a record for Broncos running backs for a long time. The current leader on the team for active running backs is Royce Freeman with 69 catches.
