The Arapahoe County Courthouse sits just a couple of turn lanes down from the Broncos’ practice facility off South Potomac Street, roughly a quarter mile but an entire world away. And every day for years, Magistrate Beth Elliott-Dumler drove by Broncos Park on her way to her juvenile courtroom with the same thought flashing in her head.
“I was like – ‘If these men knew how much power they could have … with a very small investment of time, it could mean the world to these kids,’ ” Elliott-Dumler recounted to The Denver Post in August.
Then, of course, she met Garett Bolles, the Broncos left tackle who showed up one day and just kept on coming.
