The Denver Broncos have some somber news to share.
Allen Aldridge Jr., a former linebacker who was part of the Super Bowl XXXII-winning team, has passed away at the age of 52 earlier today.
The cause of his death is currently unknown, but it appears to have been unexpected. While the 2024 Denver Broncos, led by Bo Nix, are in a “rebuilding phase,” the team enjoyed a golden era in the 1990s.
During that time, with the stellar performances of John Elway and Terrell Davis, they secured back-to-back Super Bowl victories in 1997 and 1998.
Aldridge played a significant role for the Broncos in the mid-90s after being selected in the 2nd round of the 1994 NFL Draft. He served as both an off-the-ball linebacker and a long snapper, a role that was once a more prominent position on NFL rosters.
