With Denver’s season opener vs. Pittsburgh appearing in primetime on NBC’s Sunday Night Football, Tony Dungy visited the Broncos on Monday.
Dungy, the former head coach of Indianapolis, is a studio host for Football Night in America, which precedes the Sunday Night Football game each week on NBC.
After practice, Dungy visited with some of his former players who are now Broncos — quarterback Peyton Manning, wide receiver Brandon Stokley and tight end Jacob Tamme.
Stokley, who played under Dungy in Indianapolis for four seasons, said he enjoyed catching up with his former coach.
“It’s great to see Coach Dungy,” Stokley said. “He’s a special person, and not just a great coach but a great person. He meant a lot to me and to my family. It’s always great to see him.”
Linebacker Wesley Woodyard said he appreciated getting to meet someone that he’s looked up to for a long time.
“He’s one of my biggest role models,” Woodyard said. “I read his books, just the things that he’s been through and to continue to stand strong in his faith, that shows a lot about what kind of person he is.”
Head Coach John Fox went over to say hello to Dungy on the field after practice as well.
“It’s just always good to see old friends,” Fox said. “I’ve known Tony for a long time. I followed him, really, into Pittsburgh way back in the 80s so from the standpoint as a colleague, somebody you have respect for, it’s always nice to have those guys around.”

I just looked up the depth chart moments ago. Interseting!
Two days buddy two days…
*Interesting* ooops
Way to go Knowshon. I really did warm up to him. I hope he can do it!!
Come on Cowboys!
Gag me! I believe in Eli! GO GIANTS!!!!!!!!!!
Moreno is only good going to the outside and catching the ball. Going to the inside, he does not have it. Blah!
Well give him a chance. Now we have Manning and he can open the run for us. And I think he has tons to prove. Hopefully he can do it! I like him #2 rather than fumbles.
Cat, My best friend in Colorado Springs and my cousin in Texas are huge Cowboy fans. Every week we talk about our teams and root for each other.
Not me. I prefer Lance Ball.
Like, gag me with a big skin, ya know!!. LMAO!!
Dude we talked about this before but I hate the Cowboys almost as much as I hate the Raiders. Sorry.
Is Leonhard is our #1 P/R! Nice!
No need to apologize. We can speak openly. We be pals. LOL
Yack, the faiders. You said a dirty word. Faiders is a curse word. LOL
FTR will tell you that. LOL
LOL! I am not scared of saying Raiders. too funny!
Just messing around. I won`t dare give the raiders the pleasure of using a capital (r) in their name, nope, wont do i!.HaHa
LOL well there ya go. They are the scum of the earth, no matter how hard Allen tries to change that.
I got a story to tell ya that refers to the raiders a few years ago. I`ve given the story a few times on here so I`ll Email it. Its extremely hilarious. You`ll get a big kick out of it. I`ll send it soon. You`ll laugh hard.
