The Super Bowl-winning quarterback had an idea of what retirement would be like when he walked away from the game. Things are different than he expected.
“My dad was a football coach, so I grew up in football,” Elway, 64, said during an appearance on “Fox and Friends” Wednesday. “I always thought that, when I did get away from it, I might miss it. And, actually, I’m kind of enjoying the retired life.”
The legendary Broncos’ quarterback said he’s filling in his post-playing, post-administrating days on the golf-course and with his grandkids — all 10 of them. John Elway, pictured here in 2016 while serving as the Denver Broncos’ GM, spoke about his health with The Big Lead on Wednesday.
In his second career, Elway served a variety of roles within the Broncos’ front office. As general manager and executive vice president of football operations, he oversaw four division titles, two AFC Championships, and the franchise’s victory in Super Bowl 50.

Elway continued: “I think the sky is the limit for him, and he’s just going to continue to get better and better the more comfortable that he gets.” The Broncos are 6-5 entering Sunday’s road game against the Raiders, and Nix is coming off the best game of his young career, going 28-for-33 with 307 yards, four touchdowns and zero turnovers in a 38-6 win over the Falcons.John Elway, pictured here in 2016 while serving as the Denver Broncos' GM, spoke about his health with The Big Lead on Wednesday.
