CAB DRIVER PRAISES JOHN ELWAY, BRONCOS GM SURPRISES HIM FROM BACK SEAT
Elway and his wife were in D.C. with mortgage magnate Glenn Stearns and his wife to attend President Donald Trump’s inauguration when the Stearneses appeared to start a conversation by asking the driver who he believed was the greatest QB of all time. The driver, Sam Snow, clad in a garish Pittsburgh Steelers jacket and Pittsburgh Pirates hat, named Elway.

Any big-time NFL fan would likely be ecstatic to share a taxi with Elway.
