Great Players, Great Deeds
Often lost in the ongoing scrutiny of NFL wins and losses, touchdowns and tackles, passing yards and sacks, highlight reel plays and catastrophic blunders is a simple fact: These are human beings out there playing the game. Just like the audience at home and in the stands, NFL rosters consist of men from all walks of life – some good, some not so good, and many whose greatness goes unnoticed, both on the field and off.
On this Thanksgiving week, when “To Brock or not to Brock,” has been on the tip of every tongue in Denver, the team here at Mile High Sports thought it best to take a momentary step back from the fracas for our weekly “Power Rankings” and shed some light on the ways in which our favorite team, the Denver Broncos, and its players are making a difference in the community here in Colorado and their respective homes, wherever they may be.
This space, usually reserved for a “Who’s better than whom” list of everything from tight ends to first-time starters, this week recognizes all players as equals. Rather than a subjective numerical ranking based on personal accomplishment, we present an alphabetical listing of the various Denver Broncos player charities, including ways in which you can support them.
Happy Thanksgiving!
