John Elway's 16 seasons ran the gamut from spectacular to dismal. Despite a career featuring more than 300 touchdown passes and more than 51, 000 passing yards, the road to success was not easy. Elway appeared in, and lost, three Super Bowls during the late 1980s. Redemption finally came in the late 1990s, when an aging Elway won two Super Bowls, one of which is considered to be one of the most competitive and exciting of them all.
