2008-05-30 15:15:00 Today will mark the final day of the Broncos Quarterback Camp. There won't be much time off, however, as the team gets right back to work next week.

Interesting Article Connected With Darrent Williams Murder
2008-03-06 18:02:00 Here's an article that I missed in Horse Tracks, but you should read it....See here An attorney for one of the men indicted in a massive federal drug bust says the charges should be dropped because prosecutors connected him to other crimes - including the murder of Denver Broncos player Darrent Williams - when they presented the case to the grand jury. Willie Clark, 24, was indicted last year on one count of conspiracy to distribute drugs. Prosecutors claim Clark is a gang member who worked with a violent group, the Elite Eight. The group is connected to up to 11 unsolved murders, including Williams' New Years Day 2007 killing, authorities have said. In court documents, Clark's attorney said Denver police consider Clark one of three suspects in the Williams murder. Clark denies he was involved and has pleaded not guilty to the drug charge. Clark's attorney, Alaurice Tafoya-Modi, argued in a court filing Wednesday that prosecutors prejudiced the grand jury against Clark whe...

Broncos Announce Darrent Williams Teen Center Legacy Project
2007-09-10 21:44:00 The Denver Broncos announced Monday that the organization will collaborate with the Boys and Girls Clubs of Metro Denver on a long-term legacy project to honor the memory of Darrent Williams. The Darrent Williams Memorial Teen Center will open in early 2008 as an expansion to the Denver Broncos Boys and Girls Club in Montbello and serve significantly more children in need. An important part of this legacy effort is the creation of a 7-foot, life-size bronze of Darrent Williams sculpted by world renowned artist Ed Dwight and generously funded by community members Doug Morton and his wife, Marilyn Brown. "My wife Marilyn and I are thrilled to support the new DWMTC with this sculpture," Morton said. "Reverend Leon Kelly of Open Door Youth Gang Alternatives has led us to understand the importance of helping children learn how to improve their lives through programs available to them." As the sculpture is created over the next four months, Dwight will involve a group of teens from the ne...

Darrent Williams, 1982-2007
2007-02-24 16:28:06 One of my New Year's resolutions was to start making regular posts on our silly little site. When I woke up on New Year's Day, I knew I'd have to go ahead and do the toughest one of the year just one day into it. As we've all heard by now, Denver Broncos cornerback Darrent Williams was shot and killed outside a nightclub early Monday morning. Williams had just wrapped up his second season in the NFL hours before. From what I read of Darrent, he was a decent human being. Very respectful and laid-back, he was a guy the other fellas in the locker room wanted there. All I know about it him is what he's done on the field. He had one of the toughest jobs in football; play the corner on the other side of Champ Bailey. Darrent got picked on relentlessly over the past two seasons, because nobody wants to throw to Champ's side. He was thrown into the starting lineup as a rookie last season, and showed quite a bit of impro...
