It’s been nine years since the Denver Broncos won Super Bowl 50 following the 2015 season. As fans in Denver know, rosters change quickly in the NFL, and no players remain with the Broncos from that 2015 roster. In fact, few players from that squad even remain in the league.
On the defensive side of the ball, only pass rushers Von Miller (Buffalo Bills) and Shaq Barrett (Miami Dolphins) remain on NFL rosters.
On the offensive side of the ball, offensive linemen Michael Schofield and Matt Paradis are free agents and ex-receiver Cody Latimer now plays as a tight end in the United Football League.
So, what happened to the rest of the team’s players after the team won Super Bowl 50?
Quarterback Peyton Manning has remained in the spotlight, as one would expect. He now runs Omaha Productions and one of his many successful projects is ESPN’s popular “ManningCast” for Monday Night Football.
Here’s a quick list of Denver’s offensive starters from Super Bowl 50.
