• A ninth-year quarterback who in 2004 set a Broncos single-season record for passing yards (4,089) and tied Denver’s one-year passing touchdown mark (27), records held by John Elway.
• Enters 2005 with a 19-8 record (70.4%) in two years as the Broncos’ starting quarterback, a winning percentage that is the fourth highest among NFL signal-callers during that period.
• Took every snap in a season for the second time in his career in 2004, becoming the first quarterback in Broncos history to accomplish that feat.
• Owns 26 career game-winning or game-tying scoring drives in the fourth quarter or overtime, 19 of which are "pure" comeback victories that comprise the highest total of any QB since 1995.
• Surrendered the lowest-sack total (29) in the last two seasons of any NFL QB who has started at least 22 games, helping Denver set a team record for fewest sacks allowed (15) in 2004.
• Set a Broncos single-game record with a career-best 499 passing yards vs. Atl. (10/31/04) for the ninth-highest passing total in NFL history and the top mark in the league last season.
• Enters 2005 as Denver’s all-time top-rated passer (min. 500 attempts) with an 87.0 rating since joining the team as an unrestricted free agent from Arizona in March 2003.
• Boasted a win total (9) in 2003 that was the best for a first-year Broncos signal caller since 1977 (Craig Morton -12 wins) despite playing only 11 games.

• Set an NFL single-game passing record by a rookie (338 yds.) in 1997 and threw 15 touchdown passes in only 10 games (9 starts) that year.
• Finished third in the 1996 Heisman Trophy voting after leading Arizona State University to an undefeated regular season and a trip to the Rose Bowl.
