Watch highlights of Demaryius Thomas' best plays with the Broncos
Demaryius Thomas was, without question, one of the greatest wide receivers in Denver Broncos history.
Statistically, he only trails Rod Smith on the team's all-time receiving list for yards (9,055) and touchdowns (60). He also holds franchise records for the most 100-yard games (33) and the most postseason receptions (53). Although it came in a losing effort, he also set a then-record with 13 receptions in Super Bowl XLVIII, and he scored Denver's only touchdown in that game.
That record has since been broken by James White (14 receptions in Super Bowl LI), but DT was probably even prouder of his Super Bowl 50 ring that came two seasons after the record-setting loss in Super Bowl XLVIII. Following the receiver's election to the Broncos Ring of Fame, here are highlights from his time in Denver:

Avalanche boost depth at center by bringing back Brock Nelson on a 3-year contract extension
DENVER (AP) — The Colorado Avalanche shored up their depth at center by bringing back Brock Nelson on a three-year deal. The team announced the contract extension Wednesday that will keep the 33-year-old Nelson with the Avalanche through the 2027-28 season. Colorado picked up Nelson in a trade with the New York Islanders on March 6. Nelson played in 19 games with Colorado to finish up the regular season with six goals and seven assists, and had four assists in the team's first-round playoff exit against Dallas. 'He's been a great center in this league for a long time, and he brings professionalism and a dedicated work ethic on and off the ice,' Avalanche general manager Chris MacFarland said in a statement. 'We think he's a great fit and is a stabilizing presence to our second-line center role with his size and ability to touch all areas of the ice. We're excited to see what his contributions will be over a larger sample size with the Avalanche.' Nelson has 587 career points (301 goals, 286 assists) spanning 920 regular-season games since being selected by the Islanders in the first round of the 2010 NHL draft. He played at North Dakota before joining the Islanders. Nathan MacKinnon is Colorado's top-line center and turned in a regular season in which he finished second in the league with 116 points. Nelson occupies the second-line center spot and Charlie Coyle anchors the third line. Nelson has proven durable, playing in 246 straight regular-season games. 'Having spent my entire career with one organization, we weren't totally sure what to expect when we arrived in Denver,' said Nelson, who was acquired as part of a deal that sent Calum Ritchie, Oliver Kylington, a first-round pick in the 2026 or 2027 NHL draft and a conditional third-round pick in 2028 to the Islanders. 'But getting the opportunity to play for the Avalanche, to compete with a great group of teammates in that locker room, and in front of the tremendous fans at Ball Arena, we knew this was where we wanted to stay.' ___ AP NHL playoffs: and

Bo Nix had a great take on expectations for the 2025 Broncos
After quarterback Bo Nix impressed in his rookie season and the Denver Broncos made the NFL playoffs for the first time since 2015 last fall, there are heightened expectations for the team going into the 2025 campaign. Broncos coach Sean Payton has pushed back on the notion of "picking up where the team left off" in 2024, noting that every year marks a fresh season with new challenges. Nix has clearly taken that message to heart. Advertisement When he was asked about expectations for the team and himself after an OTA practice last week, Nix had a perfect response. 'It's a loaded question because each year you start over," Nix said last Thursday. "Nobody really knows what anybody has. That's why you go out there and play the season. If we were all what people said we were going to be, we wouldn't play the season. We would just finish with the final standings of what they said we were going to be. So that's why you play the game. That's why you go out there and go through a full season. We're going to learn a lot from this time to the season. We're going to learn a lot once we get into the season and go. "I have a buddy on the team and we talk about it all the time — we tell each other, 'You're still a nobody, you haven't done anything yet.' We have a lot to prove, and we have a lot to go out there and do. It's people like that who keep you in check. It's teammates that have your back and continue to motivate you because he's right. I haven't done anything up until this point, and I have a lot to prove and a lot to show. Every day it's working. Every day, it's finding a way to get better. You don't want to get to Year 2 or go down the road, and all of a sudden you got stuck and didn't get any better. So that's my focus right now. It's not even worrying about what people say. Just internally, I know I have a long way to go.' Nix is going off a brilliant season in which he surpassed 4,200 yards from scrimmage and scored 34 touchdowns, but there is room for improvement, and he knows it. The QB has arguably already arrived, but the teammate telling him he hasn't accomplished anything yet is undoubtedly a strong motivation. It is true that Nix has not won a playoff game, and that will be among the QB's top goals in 2025. Advertisement The ultimate goal is obviously winning the Super Bowl, and after getting knocked out of the postseason in the first round last year, fans in Denver will hope to see the team win in the playoffs this season. Nix and the Broncos will take it one step at a time. Related: These 25 celebrities are Broncos fans.
