We’ve lost a great person and a great Bronco. Floyd will always be a huge part of this organization and his legacy will live on forever.

I'm going to miss Floyd Little. Used to see him at the @WalterCampFF weekend every year. A philanthropist with impeccable character. Had one outstanding trait: He was beloved by everyone. Condolences to his wife DeBorah and their three children. Rest easy, my friend.

What a wonderful, sweet man. And one of the most joyous I’ve ever seen over his selection. Thrilled he had at least a decade of life to enjoy his immortality after waiting 30 long years for the call. https://t.co/N0JFZPSAUm

In summer of 2004, sat in Pat Bowlen's office and asked him a question about important figures in Broncos' history. His first words in the answer: "Floyd Little. There may not be Orange Crush or John Elway or Super Bowls without Floyd Little.''
