In four short seasons, Terrell Davis, running back for the Denver Broncos, had moved himself into the category of NFL superstar. He was not drafted until the sixth round with the 196th choice of the 1995 draft by the Denver Broncos. This choice proved to be the biggest steal since the Yankees stole Babe Ruth from the Red Sox. Terrell rushed for over 1,000 yards in his rookie season with the Broncos, giving John Elway the running help he so desperately needed. In 1996 Terrell led the AFC in rushing with 1,538 yards, setting a team record. In his third year he rushed for 1,750 yards, again leading the AFC and breaking his own club record. He led the Broncos to a Super Bowl upset of the mighty Green Bay Packers, and was named Super Bowl XXXII MVP. In 1998 Terrell rushed for over 2,000 yards, was named NFL MVP, and again led the Broncos to the Super Bowl title. |
