This week, Brock Osweiler found himself on the cover of Sports Illustrated. After knocking the New England Patriots from the ranks of the NFL’s unbeaten teams, the quarterback with two career starts was a national story thanks to his come-from-behind victory over Tom Brady and Company.
The honor puts Osweiler in elite company. Since it’s inception in 1954, SI has only turned its attention toward Denver on 28 occasions. The list of players who have graced the magazine’s cover while wearing the orange and blue is a who’s who of Broncos history.
Who made that list? Here’s a gallery of all 28 covers, highlighting each time a Bronco (or two) graced the front of a normal, weekly edition of Sports Illustrated.
