John Elway was a Denver Broncos quarterback from 1983 to 1998. Originally drafted by the Baltimore Colts but traded to Denver before playing for the Colts. Elway was a baseball player and quarterback at Standford University.

Elway finally won a Superbowl in 1997 season after three previously failed attempts.

Elway is regarded as one of the top three quarterbacks to ever play the game. He was always a comeback king and a winner, though not a statistic record breaker.

Elway holds the record for most game-winning or game-tying scoring drives in the 4th quarter or overtime? Surprisingly often, if John Elway had the ball late in the 4th quarter and was within a touchdown, he would tie or win the game. John Elway had many comeback opportunities because, for most of his career, the Broncos were a good team, but not a dominant team.
