Super Bowl Hero Brandon McManus Pleads for Emotional Broncos Reunion

The Denver Broncos’ Super Bowl 50 glory may be a decade in the past, but for one key piece of that championship puzzle, the dream of returning to Mile High Stadium isn’t over.

Veteran kicker Brandon McManus — the man whose steady leg helped propel the Broncos to their 2016 Super Bowl victory — is making a heartfelt push for one final ride in orange and navy. Recently released and still active in the league, McManus is hoping to finish where it all began.

“I wore orange and navy when we made history in 2016. Now, I just want one more shot — I’ll play for whatever, as long as I can help Bo and the Broncos chase that feeling again,” McManus shared with local media earlier this week.

Now 33 years old, McManus isn’t chasing dollars — he’s chasing legacy. After converting 85% of his field goal attempts in 2024, the veteran kicker proved he still has what it takes. More importantly, his postseason experience, leadership, and emotional ties to the franchise make him a compelling option for a team with an unsettled kicking situation.

Broncos fans have rallied behind him. Social media is lighting up with calls for his return, including viral posts like: “McManus = Mr. Reliable. Bring him home. One last ride.”

While the front office has yet to make a move, the possibility of reuniting with one of the few remaining Super Bowl 50 heroes presents both a symbolic and strategic opportunity. At a time when the Broncos are rebuilding their identity, McManus offers more than just points on the board — he brings heart, history, and hope.

The ball is now in Denver’s court. Will they bring back a franchise favorite for one last shot at glory?
