When people talk about the Denver Broncos’ greatest draft selections, they always bring up TD, the sixth-round pick turned superstar.
But what about Shannon Sharpe?
Sharpe is a seventh-round pick turned … Hall of Famer! When he retired, he was quite possibly the greatest tight end in the history of football. Really, next to John Elway, Sharpe is probably the best Denver Bronco in franchise history.
Safe to say, I don’t think the Broncos could have selected a better player with the 192nd pick in the NFL Draft.
