Elam Retires in the right place.

1 perfect day as a Bronco

Jason Elam,  holds up a jersey with Pat Bowlen, owner of the Denver Broncos football team, in Englewood, Colo., on Wednesday, March 31, 2010. Elam kicked field goals and extra points for 17 years in the NFL, the last two years with the Atlanta Falcons. Elam retired Wednesday as a Bronco. Nearly four months after being waived by the Falcons, Elam signed a one-day contract with Denver and retired. The Broncos drafted him in the third round in 1993. An Awesome geasture and a gentlemens agreement. I was very happy to see this happen. Give it up for one of the best, the Broncos go to guy, leading all-time points getter. Captain Clutch retires a good guy.

Special memories flooding back buddy

Opening comments
“I’d like to thank the Broncos so much for putting this together. To Mr. Bowlen, this is a dream come true for me to go out like this. This gesture is huge. It’s huge for me…”I turned 40 just a few weeks ago and you just know. I know when I go out there and I kick, especially this last year. I started to feel it when I was about 35, that I just wasn’t as strong. But I felt like I was maybe even more accurate. I was able to pull back a little bit and I was much more of an accurate kicker. Even, not this past year but my first year with the Falcons, it was my best statistical year and I wasn’t nearly as strong as I used to be….You can’t spend 15 years with one organization and not feel a special thought. You can’t spend 15 years with one organization and not feel a special thought.”
