In 1977, he proudly wore an “Orange Crush” T-shirt and dreamt of being a Denver Bronco someday. The dream came true for K.C. Jones and even included a Super Bowl Championship, but it didn’t last nearly as long as he had hoped.
K.C. was born in Colorado and moved to Texas when he was 8. Everything is bigger in Texas, including K.C. who excelled on the offensive line. He had countless scholarship offers and opted for sunny Miami. Along with great weather came an always-ready-to-fight Hurricane team that included Ray Lewis and Warren Sapp who he faced daily in practice as the ‘Canes center.
Despite a great college career, he wasn’t drafted because of injuries throughout his high school and college careers. That meant he could try to make his dream come true and be a member of the Denver Broncos as a college free agent. He made the roster and was a member of Denver’s legendary offensive line and Super Bowl XXXIII team. He also continued to deal with too many injuries and was eventually cut by Mike Shanahan.
In retirement, K.C. got his degree and does financial planning. To get in touch with K.C., email him at info@kcjones.us
