Talk about a Mile High-plus example of Broncos pride: Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper has temporarily renamed all the 14ers in the state after Denver players. The numbers work out well: The standard NFL roster boasts 53 players -- and the number of Colorado 14ers just happens to be 53. That means even lesser known Broncos (including linebacker Brandon Marshall -- not the receiver of the same name traded in 2010) are getting a peak experience. Check out Hick's proclamation and the complete list, supplemented by videos.
