5 most important people in Denver Broncos organization

The five most important people in the Denver Broncos organization

1. Russell Wilson, QB

To the surprise of absolutely no one, Russell Wilson is the most important person in the Denver Broncos organization, and it’ll likely stay that way for years to come.  The Broncos were lost when Peyton Manning retired.  They cycled through what seemed like a bajillion quarterbacks, and none of them could ultimately put it together in Denver.

John Elway missed on a first-round quarterback and unsuccessfully tried out quarterbacks via free agency and trade.  Even George Paton swung and missed on a quarterback, too.  Paton responded then by trading for an elite signal caller who still has solid years left.

Russell Wilson is a future Hall of Fame quarterback who has won over 100 regular season games in his first 10 seasons.  He’s proven to be durable, accurate, and the ultimate team player.  Quarterback is the most important position in all of sports, and the Broncos have one of the best in the business at the position.
