When did the Denver Broncos integrate its NFL team?

Answer 1

The Denver Broncos, who were an American Football League team from 1960 to 1969, had black players from the beginning. One of the best was Lionel Taylor, who played for Denver from 1960 to 1966. He was the first professional football receiver to make 100 catches in a single season, which he accomplished in 14 games in 1961. Taylor, who began his career as a linebacker with the Chicago Bears of the National Football League in 1959, played his final seasons with the Houston Oilers in 1967 and 1968.
