Floyd Little Takes Handoff from Steve Tensi, 1970 Denver Broncos Action
The page from the 1970 NFL Official Record Book features a photograph depicting Denver Broncos' Floyd Little, wearing jersey number 44, in action. He is shown taking a handoff from quarterback Steve Tensi, navigating through the opponent's defense in a game setting. Little was a prominent figure at the time, known for his dynamic playing style and significant contributions to the Broncos. His ability to exploit defensive gaps made him an essential player for Denver. The image captures the competitive nature of professional football during this era, a time before the AFL-NFL merger in 1970, which set the stage for the modern National Football League. The Broncos, established in 1960, were competing in the AFL before joining the merged league.
