Earlier this year, the Denver Broncos moved John Elway into the role of President of Football Operations. This is different from the role of the President and CEO of the Broncos, Joe Ellis, and different from the role of General Manager that Elway used to fill. The Broncos power structure now has four positions below the ownership level (President/CEO, President of Football Operations, General Manager, and Head Coach). The power structure gives Elway the ability to steer the ship in Denver without having to grind film to make player evaluations and make all of the myriad decisions required of a GM.
