Here is the entire 1977 Broncos roster:

Enjoy!
I was a senior at U of Wyoming / Laramie during the 1977 season. I recall that I was taking a final exam during the final game of the season (vs. Dallas, who they played again in the Super Bowl that year), and there was somebody outside the exam room calling the score in to us. Laramie was very much caught up in Orange Crush fever that year.

There were only 4 wr's and they would be Jack Dolbin, Haven Moses, John Schultz and Rick Upchurch. The noteable members of the famous "orange crush defense" would be lber's Randy Gradishar, Tom Jackson, Bob Swenson and Joe Rizzo - dlinemen Lyle Alzado and Rubin Carter - Dback's Billy Thompson and Louis Wright. They got their nickname from their uniform colors and the popular drink Orange Crush at the time.

I remember Lyle Alzado clearly as the head of the Orange crush defense, with Tom Jackson and Randy Gradishar as the linebackers.
I can't believe it, but I cannot recall any of the wide recievers except Haven Moses of the famous M&M connection. (Morton to Moses pass)
I was pretty young then.

I don't know. But the better question is what the name of the Broncos QB in 2007? I hope its not Plummer.
