Todd Davis Jersey , one of Pat Bowlen's seven children, said Saturday night she's hoping to one day succeed her father as principal owner of the Denver Broncos.It was the first public declaration of her intention and it came at the Global Down Syndrome Foundation's annual fashion show , where she is co-chair.The franchise has been run by a trust since Pat Bowlen stepped away several years ago to battle Alzheimer's."Right now, the Denver Broncos have an owner. It's my father. Unfortunately, he can't be involved in the day-to-day of the team," Brittany Bowlen said. "I do have ambitions and goals to one day becoming the controlling owner of the Denver Broncos. And I'll keep working toward those goals. I'm not there yet, but I really believe I can get there."Brittany Bowlen, 28, received her master's degree in business administration from Duke in May after graduating from Notre Dame with a degree in finance, working for two years at NFL headquarters and a year with the Broncos as a business analyst.Terms of the trust require five years' experience with the league or team. Brittany Bowlen, who began a job with McKinsey & Company at the global consulting firm's downtown Denver branch, said she doesn't have a timetable to rejoin the Broncos for more front office experience."I think it's really important that I get experience outside of the football industry," Brittany Bowlen said. "And I think that working at McKinsey & Company is going to give me that experience."Asked for an update on her father's health, Brittany Bowlen said, "My father is doing OK. Alzheimer's is a very hard disease. He is the most stoic Alzheimer's patient. It's truly inspirational to see how he carries himself with the disease."She said since getting her master's degree, "it's been really awesome to spend more time with him."Brittany Bowlen's mother Shane Ray Jersey , Annabel Bowlen, recently announced her own Alzheimer's diagnosis.Pat Bowlen, who has been nominated as a finalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, bought the team in 1984. He transferred control of the team to the Pat Bowlen Trust in 2014.The trust is run by team president Joe Ellis, Broncos general counsel Rich Slivka and attorney Mary Kelly. ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Nobody has more sacks in the last seven seasons than Denver Broncos star Von Miller, who has dumped the quarterback 83 1-2 times since his Rookie of the Year debut in 2011.Miller’s sole sack of Seattle’s Russell Wilson, whom he’ll face for just the second time Sunday, came in 2014, eight months after the Seahawks throttled the Broncos in the Super Bowl with Miller sidelined by a knee injury.Neither player seems particularly enthusiastic about facing the other in the season opener at Mile High Stadium.“Russell’s elite,” Miller said Thursday. “Nobody likes playing Russell Wilson . He’s just elite, best of the best. As a pass rusher, you want a guy that when you get to him and you touch him, he’ll lay down for you. Russell’s the complete opposite.“He’s probably THE most elusive quarterback out there. So, nobody likes that, especially if you’re a sack guy.”Miller’s been a big fan of Wilson ever since seeing him outshine Matt Flynn in an exhibition game at Denver in Wilson’s rookie season.“I feel like he’s been great since his first couple of starts in the preseason Justin Hollins Denver Broncos Jersey , when was that, 2012, when he just went off in the preseason? I think he’s been great. He really hasn’t looked back since then,” Miller said. “He’s a great quarterback. He’s done everything the right way, one of those guys who you want your kids looking up to. So, Russell Wilson is a great quarterback and I’m looking forward to playing against him.“Not really.”Wilson is just as effusive in praise of Miller.“He’s one of those guys that’s a game changer,” Wilson said. “He can make some plays. I think the best thing for us is knowing where he is and playing smart football. When you’re playing LeBron James, or you’re playing guys like Kobe Bryant or Steph Curry, they’re going to make their plays.“He’s one of those guys for sure.”Miller always fancied himself more of a Dirk Nowitzki.“Yeah, I thought I was Dirk,” Miller cracked. “It’s great, especially coming from a guy like Russell. I already told you what type of player he is and what he means to the National Football League. So, for him to have those words for me are amazing.“I still don’t look forward to playing against him,” Miller stressed. “But it’s going to be a great game on Sunday.”Teams have long schemed to keep Miller from destroying their offensive game plans like he did in Super Bowl 50 with a pair of strip sacks of Cam Newton.They tilt protection his way, chip him with tight ends and otherwise force him to beat double teams most of the time.The addition of first-round draft pick Bradley Chubb should ease some of that attention .The fifth overall selection in the NFL draft, Chubb earned a starting spot opposite Miller but the Broncos have the best depth at that position in the league and can also unleash former first-rounder Shane Ray and Shaq Barrett on quarterbacks.“Von’s still going to get chipped Justin Hollins Denver Broncos Jersey , and early on they’re going to obviously test Bradley (to see) if he can win one-on-ones away from Von. If he does that, then we’ll get more fair protections,” Broncos coach Vance Joseph said. “But most teams are still going to turn to Von and chip Von. If they don’t, he’s going to take over the game.“But it helps having Chubb opposite and having Ray opposite and even with our NASCAR package having our four pass rushers on the field. That’s always a good deal, too. It creates more one-on-ones.”Chubb knows all about Wilson, who started three dozen games at NC State before transferring to Wisconsin.“I actually got a chance to meet him when I was there at a game, so it was pretty cool,” Chubb said. “I didn’t watch him in college but now as a professional I see he makes plays with his feet and with his arms. He’s a great player.”His interaction with Wilson basically consisted of asking for a selfie.“It was more of a quick-type conversation. I came downstairs and he was right there and I said, ‘Hey, can I get a picture really quick?’ Took the picture, then he had to be on his way,” Chubb recalled.He’d love to run into Wilson again Sunday in Seattle’s backfield along with Miller.
