"It's definitely a great storyline, but to us, it means way more than just a storyline," Johnson said. "It's something bigger than that."

Both Helm and Ferguson have fond memories of watching the Broncos, and it's possible they could soon play in a stadium where they grew up watching their hometown team.

Broncos players said they feel ownership "significantly contributes to a positive team culture" and that the group is "extremely committed to building a competitive team."

"This draft, we're still getting to learn and we're still getting to know these players," Paton said Tuesday. "I don't think there's a big difference from [No.] 10 to 20 in the draft, really. I think you can sit at [No.] 20 and maybe get the same caliber of player."

Jeremiah believes there are Day 2 options to find a "Joker" player to add to Head Coach Sean Payton's offense.

"I like the idea of having a young quarterback in Bo Nix having a chance to grow and play with the same tight end for a long period of time," Jeremiah said.

"The intent of this list has been to reveal something deeper than a quick trend: the movers and shakers in every corner of the NFL's ecosystem who will help mold it for years to come," the article reads.

Browning and coaches from more than a dozen Colorado Springs-area high schools were able to learn more about the Denver Broncos Foundation's partnership with Riddell at Tuesday's caravan at Mitchell High School.
