One of the all-time Broncos and NFL greats, John Elway, celebrated his 57th birthday on Wednesday. As expected, the football world shared their congratulations and best wishes.
Here’s a quick rundown of the top tweets honoring No. 7 on his special day.
The Broncos started the day out bright and early with this tweet at 7:30 a.m. (Not 7???)
Not many have ever done it better.
And he keeps doing it.
