"In April 2013, the Denver Broncos were still in pain after an overtime loss to the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC's divisional round that abruptly ended quarterback Peyton Manning's first season with the team. But in the "we just have to get back to work" mantra of then-GM John Elway, the Broncos' scouting and personnel staff had already gathered for predraft meetings."
""I learned so much," San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch said. "I'm not sure if I'm in this position if I don't see it done that way with those people. You can't see years ahead in that moment ... but that foundational desire for people to want to pull in the same direction to succeed -- I saw that there, right from John on down to all of us.""
"The Broncos (3-2) face the New York Jets on Sunday in London's Tottenham Hotspur Stadium ( 9:30 a.m. ET, NFL Network). The 0-5 Jets are in their first season with general manager Darren Mougey, who joins Lynch, the Las Vegas Raiders' John Spytek and the Washington Commanders' Adam Peters as current GMs who cut their teeth on Elway's Broncos staff."
In April 2013 the Denver Broncos regrouped after an overtime playoff loss that ended Peyton Manning's first season with the team. The Broncos' scouting and personnel staff held predraft meetings that included scouts, interns and staffers who later became NFL general managers. Six attendees became would-be GMs and four currently hold GM positions, forming a deep Broncos general manager tree under John Elway. Current GMs who worked for the Broncos include John Lynch, John Spytek, Adam Peters and Darren Mougey. Other staffers from that era include John Ziegler and Champ Kelly. The Broncos prepare to play the winless Jets in London.
