Add Louis Wright to the list of Broncos legends that should be in the Hall of Fame.
For 12 years, Wright patrolled the Broncos’ secondary, earning Pro-Bowl trips and All-Pro nods. With 166 games in a blue and orange uniform, he’s tied for 13th in franchise history and first amongst cornerbacks.
He helped lead the Broncos and their Orange Crush defense to the first Super Bowl in franchise history, Super Bowl XII, and would come to define what it meant to be a “shutdown corner.”
And as evidenced by his nickname, “Lou-dini,” many of the things he did on the field were simply unexplainable.
