Rod Smith and Shannon Sharpe” width=”900″ height=”635″ />“Ed-die! Ed-die!” The popular chant filled the Broncos stadium every time No. 87 made another fantastic catch.
Ed McCaffrey was a fan favorite in Denver, and with good reason. After a few quiet seasons with the Giants and the 49ers, McCaffrey signed a three year contract for just $1.5 million.
McCaffrey blossomed with the Broncos, staying in Denver for nine seasons; while catching 462 passes and 46 touchdowns. His receptions were a lesson in hanging on to the ball, despite taking some very violent hits.
Not just a pass catcher, McCaffrey was also a willing and able blocker, that helped Bronco runners pick up huge gains downfield. McCaffrey is currently the color commentator for the Broncos radio broadcasts.
