The Mile High faithful haven’t forgotten. The icy kicks. The Super Bowl 50 banner. The man in orange and navy who drilled it when it mattered most.
Now, nearly a decade later, Brandon McManus, the last remaining spark from the Broncos’ 2015 championship squad, is making headlines once again — this time with an emotional plea for one final chapter.
“I wore orange and navy when we made history. Now, I just want one more shot,” McManus told reporters. “I’ll play for whatever — as long as I can help Bo and the Broncos chase that feeling again.”
McManus, 33, isn’t washed. He’s battle-tested. After converting 85% of his field goals in 2024, the veteran kicker still has gas left in the tank — and a burning desire to finish what he started in Denver.
With the Broncos’ kicker situation still unsettled and internal competition not yielding a clear standout, the timing might be just right. McManus brings something money can’t buy: postseason pedigree, icy nerves, and a locker room presence that doesn’t need a microphone.
Social media is buzzing. One viral fan post reads:
“McManus = Mr. Reliable. Bring him home. One last ride.”
It’s more than nostalgia. It’s a call for identity — a return to grit, heart, and legacy. McManus isn’t demanding money or guarantees. He’s offering loyalty in an era dominated by egos and contracts.
Whether the front office listens remains to be seen, but one thing’s clear:
The heart of a champion still beats for Denver.
