“What I remember about Spy is he was one of the people that (was) giving me a grasp on the team, what I had, what they thought our strengths were, what we had to do to continue to move forward and have a chance to win a championship,” Kubiak said in a phone interview. “He helped get me comfortable with the team so that I could get in there and work with my coaches and start to break down our needs and get ready for the draft. He was a big, big asset to me.”
The Broncos won Super Bowl 50 in Kubiak’s first season as coach.
“It takes certain people to be leaders of others,” Kubiak said. “And Spy, that’s what he’s got in him. … He’s a very upbeat, positive, good person that’s very good at motivating others around him. They didn’t want to let him down.”
