Netflix to Premiere Documentary on Denver Broncos Legend John Elway
Fans of the Denver Broncos and football enthusiasts alike will soon have the opportunity to relive the legendary career of quarterback John Elway. A new documentary titled “ELWAY” is set to debut on Netflix, chronicling the Hall of Famer’s iconic journey on and off the field.
A Story of Football Greatness
The documentary will explore Elway’s remarkable playing career, his personal life, and the enduring bond he shares with the Denver Broncos. Produced in part by Omaha Productions, the company founded by fellow Broncos legend Peyton Manning, the film promises an in-depth look at one of the NFL’s most celebrated players.
From Stanford to Broncos Legend
Elway’s football prowess first gained national attention during his college career at Stanford University, where he earned a second-place finish in the 1982 Heisman Trophy race. Recognizing his immense talent, the Broncos selected Elway as the No. 1 overall pick in the 1983 NFL Draft, marking the beginning of an extraordinary partnership.
Over his 16-year NFL career, Elway became the face of the Broncos franchise, earning nine Pro Bowl selections, two Super Bowl victories, and one league MVP award. His final championship, a triumphant victory in Super Bowl XXXIII against the Atlanta Falcons, came during his farewell season, cementing his legacy as one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time.
A Lifetime of Achievements
Elway’s on-field accomplishments include 51,475 career passing yards, placing him 12th in NFL history at the time of his retirement, and 300 touchdown passes, a milestone reached by only 14 quarterbacks in league history.
Following his retirement, Elway continued to shape the Broncos’ success. As the team’s general manager from 2011 to 2020, he guided the franchise to its third Super Bowl title in 2015, further solidifying his connection to the team and its fans.
