Horsin' Around: The best Broncos team without a Lombardi Trophy

This week, take a summertime stroll through Broncos history as Andrew Mason and Steve Atwater talk about past stories and present trends with Hall of Famer Floyd Little (0:54) and a pair of standouts from the 1997 Super Bowl XXXII-winning team: defensive back Tyrone Braxton (22:23) and guard Brian Habib (43:16)

On Wednesday, the 2018 supplemental draft came and went without the Broncos selecting a player. Before the conference-call draft began, the only supplemental pick in Broncos history, Bobby Humphrey shared his experience as a supplemental pick (6:20) with Steve Atwater and Andrew Mason, and details how he expected to be a Tampa Bay Buccaneer -- and not a Bronco. Humphrey also shared memories of being a member of the Broncos' 1989 rookie class, which saw him and Atwater become immediate standouts as the Broncos won their fourth AFC title.

Andy Lindahl of Orange and Blue 760's morning show says it's the 2013 edition. Andrew Mason of "First and Ten at Ten" on the station says it's the 2012 club. Who's right?
