Broncos great Billy Thompson on his best friend Floyd Little: “You won’t find anybody better. As a friend, as a teammate, you wouldn’t find anyone better. I looked up to him and respected him and he was a great teammate. I wouldn’t change a day I had with him.” #9sports

rest, including " It also produced one of his favorite stories, when head coach Lou Saban fired him in the middle of a game against the Bills."Floyd Little, the legendary Broncos running back who was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2010, has died, his family announced. He was 78.
"Everyone with the Denver Broncos family is heartbroken with the passing of Floyd Little," President and CEO Joe Ellis said. "Without question, Floyd was one of the greatest Broncos of all-time and an unforgettable part of our history. He rightfully earned the nickname 'The Franchise' for his profound impact on this organization, helping to put the Broncos on the pro football map in the early days. As the first Pro Football Hall of Famer to star for the Broncos, Floyd brought credibility to this team while becoming one of the most dominant players of his era. Seeing him finally receive that Gold Jacket was the culmination of a tremendous lifetime in football. Even after his retirement, Floyd was a wonderful ambassador for the game and the Denver Broncos, carrying himself with warmth, kindness and class — always with humility and a smile. In recent months, he faced his cancer diagnosis with the same grit and determination that defined his incredible playing career. On behalf of the Broncos, we extend our deepest condolences to Floyd's wife, DeBorah, the entire Little family, his many fans and all of his loved ones."
