VIDEO: Remembering When John Elway Ducked a Defender And Tossed a Perfect 60-Yard Bomb

Denver Broncos legend John Elway turned 60 yesterday, so people have been revisiting some of his most iconic plays lately. When discussing the Elway legacy and his greatness, everybody goes to one thing — "The Drive." And rightfully so. It is one of the most well-known performances in NFL history, and it is truly greatness on full display.

However, at least from a purely physical standpoint, one could argue that this is the most impressive play Elway has ever made.

The sea that was Elway's offensive line parted and the linebacker had a wide open lane to the Hall of Fame quarterback. Despite being a 6-foot-3 QB, Elway ducked him, keeping the play alive and his eyes downfield.

Barely stepping into his throw, Elway flicked the ball downfield nearly 60 yards to put it right on the money for fellow Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe. It looked obvious that the two were the two best players on the field.

As general manager and president of football operations for the Broncos, Elway is hoping that his team's young passing attack can put together some similar plays this season.
