A Bronco is headed back to London.
Nick Ferguson, who played in Denver from 2003-07, has been chosen to serve as a studio analyst for Sky Sports — based in London — for a Sunday slate of NFL games.
He and former NFL linebacker Rocky Boiman earned the position with their performance at the league’s annual Broadcast Boot Camp in New Jersey.
“This an extraordinary opportunity for me to continue my broadcasting education, especially on Sky Sports in Europe where I won a World Bowl,” said Ferguson, who spent the 1998 season with the Rhein Fire in NFL Europa.
The broadcast boot camp, which ran from June 20-23, included tape study, editing, show preparation, radio production, control room operation, studio preparation, production meetings, field reporting and game preparations.
The players taped segements as studio and game analysts and took part in a networking session with television executives.
Since it began in 2007, the camp has helped 36 players earn broadcasting jobs down the road. Ferguson and Boiman are the first to earn broadcasting jobs directly as a result of their performance at the camp.
FOX Sports’ Curt Menefee said in a release that it’s a great opportunity for the two former players to “get right into the field.”
It’s unclear the exact date Ferguson will take on his assignment with Sky Sports, but it will be determined closer to the kickoff of the 2011 season.
Ferguson joins a handful of other former Broncos who have taken on broadcasting careers, including Tom Jackson and Mark Schlereth with ESPN and Shannon Sharpe with CBS.

And now Klis has totally lost me!
Just a couple days ago he said we would look at DTs, RBs, and a receiving TE in FA and now this is what he says today:
The Broncos are counting on Thomas to develop quickly. Richard Quinn, who has one catch in two seasons, will start at blocking tight end. Dan Gronkowski will start at receiving tight end until Thomas is ready.
Because of their confidence in Thomas, the Broncos are unlikely to pursue a front-line tight end in free agency.
“Definitely good news for me,” Thomas said. “It’s something I’m used to, though. I was on the fast track my last year in college. I know I have a long way to go, though. That’s why I called Brady.”
You guys figure it out, LOL! I never thought we would look at yet another TE in the first place, maybe Klis just had a brain fart the other day.
To be fair to Klis it is not clear whether it was him who said that since yesterday’s article with no credentials attached to it started like this:
There is optimism the NFL will have a labor settlement in the next two weeks. Beware optimism. But whenever free agency begins, the Broncos will try to sign players for at least three positions — running back, defensive tackle and pass-catching tight end.
The Broncos are unlikely to be in the market for big-ticket players. They’re expected to continue their recent trend of acquiring players with value and potential.
NFL reporter Mike Klis analyzes this year’s free-agent running backs:
And here was the lenghty post about all the RBs who might be available I posted yesterday…. So it’s possible someone else wrote the intro and Klis article today is actually to correct a wrong. Interesting.
thanks sndvl, i’m going into the army. Doing basic at Ft Benning GA, so nice and warm.
thanks TRB
Well there are 10 players left in the NFL Network’s top players of 2011.
Here is who I think they will be,not necessarily in this order:
1.Peyton Manning(best player in the NFL)
2.Tom Brady
3.Troy Palamalo
4.Ed Reed
5.Ray Lewis
6.Drew Brees
7.Andre Johnson
8.Adrian Peterson
9.Julius Peppers
10.Derell Revis(no way Champ is at #48)
anybody else???
Potter what is your MOS and are you active?
I’m going active duty and I’ll be doing 25s SatCom.
Fort Carson is going on the wish list so I can catch some home games
Klis doesn`t know if he`s coming or going on the catching TE in FA. The guys confused.
Ft. Benning, GA. The land that time forgot. Their mud is 18 inches deep and sun is blazing hot…
If I can give you any advice-stay hydrated and take advantage of those army issued handkerchiefs. A dampened one under your Kevlar. And to wipe that sweat of your brow so the salty liquid doesn’t get in your eyes….good memories!!! And if you’re a lefty shooter let the range master know immediately. I didn’t. Ive got
a scar beneath my right eye because of it.
Again good luck soldier. Now drop and give me 20. (as for the cooler time of year. Man up you nimby pimby. J/K. You’d much rather be hot and sweaty, than wet and cold. Stay hydrated)
Great to hear we may not need to spend money on a TE. With Fox and staff I am confident they will maximize the potential of “The other Quinn” and the “Brother Gronkowski”. That last HC had a way of bringing out the worst in players (only exception being Orton. Go figure) As weird as
that may be.
GO BRONCOS in 2011, Return of Mile-High Magic!!!!!!!!!!! (if theres a season of course)
