Broncos offensive lineman Russ Hochstein and quarterback Brady Quinn are among the 66 players who have enrolled in the NFL Business Management and Entrepreneurial Program at Harvard Business School and the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University.
The program is one of NFL Player Engagement’s initiatives to assist players in preparing for their post-playing careers. Since the program’s inception in 2005, more than 700 players have participated.
“We are excited to continue this program which has been beneficial to so many of our players,” said NFL Vice President of Player Engagement Troy Vincent, who has attended each of the business management programs. “Over the years, the Business Management and Entrepreneurial Program has assisted players — myself included — and their families in making smarter business decisions while inspiring others to go back to school for an MBA.”
The schools will offer executive education activities in their respective areas of expertise. Taught by full-time Harvard Business School faculty members, the customized five-day program at HBS (March 19-23) aims to help participants learn to develop a business idea or plan in such areas as investments, real estate, and retailing.
The Kellogg School program (April 1-5) will focus on entrepreneurship, underscoring the fundamentals of investing and how to create and finance new ventures. Kellogg faculty members will teach classes on topics such as entrepreneurial finance, angel investing, equity versus debt capital, effective negotiating, and marketing in the nanosecond world.
Players complete an application process in order to attend the NFL Business Management and Entrepreneurial Program. Enrollment criteria includes level of education; professional business experience; interest in starting, owning, or managing a business; and leadership and community involvement.

that would be a smart move if they want to build quality youth that could be studs down the road
It all depends on who is available and willing to trade up. IMO we should try and pull of a trade with the Eagles to get their two 2nd round picks. But there has to be somebody on the board they must have. I think our only takers will move us back a couple spots but not out of the first. Many teams 26-32 need a good WR there will be a group of 4 or 5 available. A team may want to trade up to get who they want for sure.
yea i think the eagles would probably pull the trigger since they only really need that one player anyway
Yea but will that player be there at 25 is the question.
probably.. but all i know is that the broncos have some holes to fill and getting one at only 25 is not going to make a big difference.. but when you trade back to collect more picks, then you can fill more holes at once
Theyre young and can fill holes and add depth if they arnt good enough yet to start.
true.. is it me or is Doug Martin like a Ray Rice??
Doug Martin reminds me a lot of Rice. If we cant get Martin there are a couple of other backs i like. Turbin and Gray.
is Gray that guy from Texas A&M?
Yea. He played with Miller since like PeeWee football
ohhh yeaaa.. i seen him play against arkansas last year.. speaking of arkansas i really like Joe Adams and Wright
I dont really know much about them. I dont pay a whole lot of attention to Arkansas. Dont care much for the razorbacks.
speaking of Gray, where is that WR #8 from Texas A&M projected? many had him 1st round before the combine
If your talking bout Fuller hes projected 4\5 round
oh true.. so do you think the broncos are going to make a big signing on day 1 of free agency?
I hope so. Either Manning Williams Soliai or Carr anyone of them. I just want to see them be aggressive.
yea me too.. but i think we should just get carr, soliai, grubbs, meyers, landry and mincy.. i wolud love to have williams but the more i read, it seems like hes going to want like 14mil a year.. we should pass on that
oyea and hawthorne
im still mad that we didnt cut goodman yet smh
14 mil for his level of play isnt that bad. If we get Manning i thing we could get him cheaper. we have around 52 mil because of the 1.6 mill addition. Plus we might be able to get Bailey and Doom to redo their contracts.
IMO we should try to trade a player before cutting them. I mean even a 7th round pick is better than nothing.
yea and we could also use that 4.6mil too
honsetly i think the broncos might surprise ppl and draft a OT or pick up on in free agency.. i think franklin works better as a guard IMO
Plus Knowshow. Im not sure how much he is set to make but we could use it more than his injury prone ass
I think Franklin did a great job at RT. Him and Clady made a good pair of Tackles.
he has slow feet in my opinion.. but i see the broncos signing 2 players today..
I sure hope so. I hope a big splash or two.
is sedrick ellis on the market?
No although he might be realeased to add to NO cap
Mornin Broncos country! What surprises are in store for us today?
Left tackle Levi Brown will be released by the Arizona Cardinals so the team can save $17 million in cap money to pay Peyton Manning or some other top free agent, ESPN reported Monday evening.
Brown was taken fifth overall by Arizona in the 2007 NFL Draft. He’s viewed as a good player who didn’t live up to that No. 5 billing, and he figures to be a coveted free agent.
Might be to take Manning but cutting one of their best O-linemen isnt going to help get him there itll make him cautious.

This is not to make room for Peyton Manning: Texans cut quarterback Matt Leinart.
Lol. Yea right. Texans are going to go after Manning IMO.

Titans were preparin to make run at Houston’s Mario Williams, and now organziation has shifted its focus to try to sign Peyton Manning.
Goodnight Bronco country see yall in four hours.
hey gents vote for our 97 and 98 broncos matching up against the 68 jets and 84 dolphins we all know who woulda won those two Elway and Td all day
http://www.nfl.com/features/bracketology/alltimeteams
would be funny if we picked up brown and manning would be a big f u to the cards
This is March 13th, and i think everyone knows what that means. Free Agency… If only it could start right now
Not sure what kind of day to expect…………furious action or a snoozefest. I’m sure there’ll be a few deals made today………….only time will tell!
Don’t think we’ll know PM’s decision until tomorrow or the next day. Be nice to know so we can all just move on.
Wonder how this is all playing on TT’s mind. Even if PM doesn’t come to the Broncos, he knows that the FO wanted someone else instead. It’ll be interesting to see how he handles the whole situation. The media is just chomping at the bit to get his opinion but he’s wisely declining all interviews.
Well if we get Manning we won’t have to worry about Tebow pulling a Cutler, because Tebow will be traded before Manning even sets foot in the Broncos locker room.
yup……….looks like my BBBP still might come true that TT gets traded before the draft…..
Good morning Broncos country! Well, today it begins!
I hope Manning makes a decision before Friday! The suspense is getting to me!
Just what we touched on briefly yesterday TRB….
http://espn.go.com/blog/afcwest/post/_/id/40995/broncos-may-be-held-hostage-by-manning-decision
I think it’ll be made in the next couple of days. If he travels to Tenn, then that may delay his decision.
Will EFX really let some of the better pics pass us by? I thought Elway was smarter than that.
Well its a good thing in that article that Soliai is being considered by the broncos.
Well the key here is “pricey F/As”, so Broncos should still be able to sign 2nd tier players they’re interested in.
BW reporting the Houston chronicle not interested in Manning. Can’t believe that one.
So we get relegated to second tier while Manning roams around getting teams to stroke his ego? Great….I hope we can pick up some good young talent and not just hold our breath waiting for the Ego to make up his mind.
I can garuntee that Manning knows where hes going he just wants teams to keep calling, telling him how great he is and how much they want him. Like you said Texan our times shouldnt be wasted waiting for Ego.
Royalbronco – I agree with you on the Texans. They are still in the hunt. Manning would fit well there and they are close to SB.
