Denver Broncos fans will probably recognize a few familiar faces when the Green Bay Packers visit Empower Field at Mile High on Sunday.
The Packers feature three former Broncos on their squad this season. Green Bay’s second-string running back is Emanuel Wilson, who started his career in Denver but wasn’t able to beat out Jaleel McLaughlin for a roster spot. Wilson has rushed for 351 yards and three touchdowns this season.
On defense, the Packers have backup linebacker Kristian Welch, who plays almost exclusively on special teams. Welch had a six-game stint with the Broncos last season.
On special teams, Green Bay’s kicker is Brandon McManus, who needs no introduction in Denver. McManus played for the Broncos from 2014-2022, helping the team win Super Bowl 50 following the 2015 season. His 223 field goals with Denver rank second in franchise history, only trailing two-time Super Bowl champion Jason Elam (395).
