Throughout the history of the Denver Broncos, countless players have made impacts in their own way, some long-term and others brief, and of course not every player gets remembered in the Ring of Honor.
In this series, we’ll take a look at guys who delivered a positive impact for the Broncos but whose name may have been less remembered over time. In this first edition, we’ll check in on former bruising fullback/running back Peyton Hillis.
Broncos History
Following a successful career at Arkansas primarily as a lead blocker for star running back Darren McFadden, Hillis would be taken by the Broncos in the seventh round of the 2008 NFL Draft, where he would soon thereafter earn a spot as the team’s starting fullback.
