Under his leadership, the Broncos have maintained strong performances, including consecutive AFC West division titles from 2011 through 2015.

Renowned for his powerful build, strong arm, and football intelligence, Elway was known as a dual-threat quarterback due to his ability to both pass accurately and escape defensive pressure through scrambling.

The American national, of white ethnicity, remains actively involved in football operations and management and is often praised for his enduring dedication to the sport.

At the time, his father was the head football coach at Port Angeles High School on the Olympic Peninsula.
