FILE - In this Sept. 8, 2016, file photo, Super Bowl XXXII MVP Terrell Davis carries the Lombardi Trophy onto the field prior to an NFL football game between the Denver Broncos and the Carolina Panthers, in Denver. The coronavirus pandemic scuttled most college pro days, wiped out all rookie minicamps and obliterated the NFL's traditional offseason, making it became almost impossible for long shots to make their mark and, consequently, the 53-man roster. Among them: Hall of Famer Terrell Davis. Davis ended the frustrations of a long-suffering franchise, city and larger-than-life quarterback who could never win the big game before he came along.
