## Caption

Steve Foley’s Broncos career spanned one of the most transformative periods in team history, from the emergence of the Orange Crush defense to the dawn of the John Elway era. In this conversation, Foley walks through how his quarterback background shaped his instincts as a defensive back, why preparation and anticipation mattered more than speed, and how defensive coordinator Joe Collier found pre-snap tells long before advanced analytics existed. Foley revisits the intensity of the Raiders rivalry, the Broncos’ first Super Bowl appearance, and the controversial moments that defined that game. He also reflects on coaching influences like Johnny Robinson and Richie McCabe, the physicality of the era, and the mental discipline required to survive at cornerback and safety. The episode closes with Foley explaining the moment he knew his career was complete, why he chose to walk away healthy, and how he views today’s Broncos defensive lineage.
