With Wednesday marking the official start of training camp, several Broncos rookies received their first set of NFL uniform numbers. For most, this meant a change from a number that they had grown accustomed to dating back to their college – or even high school – debuts.
First-round selection Von Miller revealed that he will wear No. 58 this season when he met the media yesterday.
“I just felt like that was the number to go with,” Miller said. “I’m a big fan of (former Kansas City Chiefs LB) Derrick Thomas, and hopefully I can get some inspiration from that. He’s my favorite player, and I’m number 58.”
Below is a list of Broncos players who have newly confirmed numbers, including all nine drafted rookies and all 17 college free agents. Note that with the high volume of players on the roster, Mario Fannin and Deron Mayo will both wear No. 42, at least temporarily. In addition, Chris Harris is sporting the same number as running back Brandon Minor.

Just finished a large cup of java,maybe it ain’t kicked in yet,lol.
All kidding aside,I was hoping to wake up and Orton-B-Gone,boy was I disappointed,especially when the report last night was that the deal was getting close!
Yeah but Orton played better for us than he did for the Bears and they had a descent running game and a good Defense.
NFL Network still reporting Cardinals interested in Orton,said he was their 1st choice,but since he is in trade talks with Miami they went after Kolb,funny how they haven’t talked about a done deal for Kolb either!
Miami is the place for Orton and unfortunately they know it, but I just hope the Triumvirate eventually caves in at the end and let’s him go to make everything clearer in Bronco country, otherwise it will be a real murky time around here with both Tebow and Orton, no matter in what order.
He played better til Thanksgiving, LMAO. After that noodle arm takes over!
ORTON-B-GONE DAMNIT!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree. We are already behind the power curve with all that’s new around here. We don’t need any distractions.
I just wished this Orton thing would get over so we can talk more about getting some DTs!
Just turn off that trash of NFLN, Kolb was always the #1 target for the Cards, every single media source has said that all off season, better yet, throw that darn TV set through your neighbors window next time they play that loud obnoxious music.
I seem to remember Elway and Fox saying that the first order of business after the draft was to aquire DLs…
Get this,Hasselbeck will sign a 3 year deal worth 21 million,and CJ due to make 800,000……HOLDOUT!!!,man they gotta pay CJ his money he and Deshean Jackson are still on their Rookie contracts,gotta pony up for the great players!
HAHAHAHA, they’re getting side tracked, just like in the draft….
LMAO!!!!!!
I could,those newer flat screens are very lightweight,lol.
And they frame up a head real nice…
I’ve been watching NFL Network for 3 days now,not one word on Mebane!
Yeah,LMAO!
I give up, LOL.
Think how long they’ve needed a QB though. McNair the last real one there. CJ will get his.
I thought the holdup was Ortons contract being reworked
You outta be an NFLN spoke person…
Courtland Finnegan is an idiot. What a Jackwagon.
Hey last Friday Night I was working on my sons ATV and listening to the stereo in my truck,and the guy pulls right next to the property line and drowned me out,but I got the best of him,he got blasted until 2:00 AM!
Live shot of Denver practice on NFLN. I might go.
Tebow and Fox ON NFL Netwok now!!!!
Tebow,Quinn,and Orton all 3 throwing passes!
Who in the Hell is #2 playing QB,better not be Simms,lol.
Orton dropped the ball,LMAO!!!!!!
Adam Weber.
I can’t believe they just showed like 3-4 minutes of Broncos live practice!
Orton is taking snaps from JD Walton for the cameras. Yep He’s the #1 until he’s traded. What a dog and pony huh?
Hey bro,If I could I’d go BOO Orton,the practices are free to the public!
I needed you at the Pub the other night BFE, this young punk idiot was telling me how stupid Elway was to keep Tebow and trying to get rid of Orton and then he proceeded to tell me Elway was a horrible QB because he lost 3 SBs… I couldn’t believe my ears, of course he was a Packer fan so he obviuolsy hated Elway but he was so young, like 22 or so that no way no how could he have known anything about how Elway played through his career. All I could do was telling him this discussion was over and change bar seat, but I know that if you had been there he would of felt some pain, a little bitty thing too, kind of ruined my buzz, punk!
Live Broncos again!
Look at all the 15 jerseys in the crowd.
I broke a guys nose for saying less than that,I wished I’d been there bro,don’t diss my team unless you wanna fight,I don’t diss anyones team!
YAou would have had to got me outta jail tho,a lot easier to get away in the country than the city,lol.
See Orton taking snaps from JD Walton….like he’s the starter…Come on Miami…
I bet Orton is miserable knowing he has to be at practice,knowing they don’t want him there,I think I’m gonna cry……NOT!
raidrhadr…just a cover I hope!
A miserable 9 million dollar man? Think not, haha.
Pats have Wilfork and Haynesworth. ugh
Fox has repeatedly said Orton is the starter anyway.
BFE< I gottaa tell you, if I was still a cop, and went to a barfight that started over some punk dissing out team and qb, there is no way I could lock you up for teaching this punk some manners. That has to be all there is to it. You just was teaching him some manners and he fell against your hand….several times. He can't help it if he can't stand on his own two feet!
BFE it is a dog and pony show not a cover. They better get a deal done soon or we have a huge distraction.
I would have loved to see Haynesworth here if he would leave his attitude in Washington,he is the best DT in the NFL,when he’s on his game.I remember when Haynesworth and Big John Henderson played for UT at the same time,you talk about stopping the run!!!
Bay Fox has been saying that Orton is the starter…setting up the scenario we have now…So LET’S GO MIAMI!!!
lmao@seweatherman
On the other hand, Kolb does NOT report to Eagles camp.
I think Orton should of done the same, maybe he is not so sure he is going anywhere anytime soon?
NFL Network reporting Cards waiting on Orton to Miami deal,before signing Kolb.
Hey you guys are missing live practice of the Broncos!
Elway says the Orton deal is an hour to hour thing!!!c’mon!
