Sacco Sez: The Broncos' 'mistaken identity' running backs

As we prepare for the 2018 NFL season, there is virtually no limit to getting information on players, with sources including television and newspapers, radio and the internet, to say nothing of the most complete of all, the Denver Broncos website.

You can see pictures of everything on every venue but live radio.

But there was a time in team history when two players were confused with one another for a full season, sometimes with angry arguments ensuing about who was who, or even if there were actually two separate guys.

I am talking about 1965, when the Broncos had two guys who played the same position, running back, one named Abner Haynes and the other named Wendell Hayes.
