We lost a great one this past week. The first great Denver Bronco, Floyd Douglas Little, galloped off into the sunset after a battle with a rare cancer.

A Ring of Famer, Hall of Famer, and one of only three Broncos to have their number retired by the team, Floyd was truly "The Franchise" in its early days.

Importantly, he stood out as a man who drew praise from his contemporaries as an even better person than he was a player. The kind of cornerstone any organization would be proud to build its future on.

As the once proud Broncos struggle to find themselves amongst abysmal seasons, serious ownership issues, and a transition away from Elway guiding the ship, may the example of Floyd help provide some direction forward.
