Gotta love the smart, heads-up play by Broncos receiver Brandon Stokley in the final seconds of the Broncos-Bengals game.
No, I’m not talking about catching the tipped pass by Bengals defensive back Leon Hall and racing down the field for an 87-yard, game-winning touchdown for Denver. Sick play, though. Read full story here
Stokley was drafted by the Baltimore Ravens out of the University of Louisiana at Lafayette in the fourth round (105th pick overall) of the 1999 NFL Draft. Stokley won a championship ring in Super Bowl XXXV as a member of the Ravens. In the game, he caught 3 passes for 52 yards, including a 38-yard touchdown reception in the first quarter.
On December 26, 2004, Stokley received the record-breaking 21-yard touchdown pass for Peyton Manning in the hunt to break Dan Marino’s record of 48 touchdown passes in a season. That year, he had a breakthrough season with 68 passes caught for 1,077 yards and 10 touchdowns and an average of 15.8 yards per catch. Furthermore, the TD catch made the 2004 Colts the first NFL team to have three WRs with 1000 receiving yards and 10 TDs or more in a season, the other two being Reggie Wayne and Marvin Harrison . The next two seasons of Stokley’s career were marred by various injuries. After he participated in only four games of the 2006 season, the Indianapolis Colts terminated his contract on March 1, 2007.
He signed with the Denver Broncos on March 14. On December 7, 2007, he signed a 3-year extension with the team. READ MORE HERE
