In the 2016 season, the Denver Broncos were a team aspiring for playoff success. Having it being just a year ago that the Broncos won the Super Bowl against the heavily favored Carolina Panthers, the Broncos were scrambling to find a replacement for retired quarterback Peyton Manning. No, that is not why they gave Brice the call. The real reason happened later in the season, right in the middle of the year. The Broncos were going into week 8 without their #1 running back, C.J. Anderson, who they lost a week earlier to a torn meniscus. The Broncos, who at the time were 5-2, really believed that they could make the playoffs and make some big time noise, so they started calling some potential candidates. Now, when they saw Brice Boggs, former Florida all-purpose player, they fell in love. A player so fast with a big 6'5, 250 pound frame? They immediately gave Boggs a call and a tryout, and gave him the soonest flight to Denver. Boggs participated in several team practices to get a feel of what it would be like to play for the Broncos. The coaches definitely liked what they saw, and offered Boggs a one year, six million dollar contract. Boggs mulled over it, and decided to sit out the week 9 Florida Gators football game. Boggs eventually declined the deal, saying that he wanted to finish his college education.
