The Greatest Football Players in History: Then vs Now

Today, Elway is more executive than athlete, but his competitive edge never faded. After retiring, he moved into management, helping guide the Broncos to another Super Bowl win as general manager in 2016. His name still carries weight — the rare player who became just as successful in the front office.

Now semi-retired from football operations, Elway spends more time with family, business ventures, and community work in Colorado. He’s the face of loyalty — the man who gave his city decades of passion. Age has softened him a bit, but that steely confidence still shows in every smile.
