Denver Broncos general manager John Elway has urged the Senate judiciary committee to confirm Neil Gorsuch to the US supreme court in an endorsement letter written on official team letterhead. “Neil is a big Denver Broncos fan, and I can tell you that I’m a big fan of his.”The letter was dated Monday, the first day of Gorsuch’s confirmation hearing for the supreme court. The popular Elway, a two-time Super Bowl champion as a quarterback, has thrown support behind conservative causes in the past. He was once a rumored candidate for Colorado governor, though he’s typically been coy about his interest in running for public office. “I have been approached a couple times (about running for office),” Elway said in a 2015 interview with Fox News.
