Former Broncos quarterback Jack "Jacky" Ross Lee died Monday in Houston after a lengthy battle with Alzheimer's. He was 77.
Lee attended the University of Cincinnati, where he was the team MVP, named all-conference in 1958 and 1959, and earned MVP honors at the 1960 Senior Bowl. Lee was inducted into the school's hall of fame and ring of honor in 2007.
Lee was drafted by the American Football League's Houston Oilers in 1960, becoming their first drafted quarterback in history.
He arrived in Denver in 1964, becoming the first and only "lend-lease" quarterback in professional football.
