Forget about simply being among the top two players in Broncos history; Terrell Davis was one of the best to ever play the game when he was healthy. Unfortunately, staying healthy was an issue for Davis.
In his first four seasons, Davis took the league by storm, getting better in each season, finally culminating in one of the best rushing seasons ever — over 2,000 yards and 21 touchdowns in the second Super Bowl run of 1998.
Even with one of the best seasons ever in ’98, the most impressive feat Davis accomplished could have been his Super Bowl XXXII MVP performance where he rushed for 157 yards and three touchdowns despite having a migraine and missing the entire second quarter.
If it weren’t for knee injuries that greatly limited his last three years, Davis could have been one of the best running backs, as well as players, of all-time.
Although Davis only played four full seasons with the Broncos, his greatness elevates him to the second best Bronco to ever play.
