Profession:NFL Quarterback

Nationality:

Biography: One of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history, he led the Denver Broncos to five Super Bowl appearances and two victories. He was known for performing his best in the clutch, thanks in large part to the 1987 AFC Championship Game against the Cleveland Browns where he helped engineer a 98-yard, game-tying touchdown drive, which would become known as "The Drive".

Elway began his career as a first pick draft for the Baltimore Colts but controversially refused to play for them, saying he'd rather play baseball. He was eventually traded to the Denver Broncos.

In 2011 Elway was appointed General Manager of the Denver Broncos.
