Just two years removed from winning Super Bowl 50, the After going 5-11 in 2017, the Broncos have reportedly met with former GM and president of basketball operations Sam Hinkie, per Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic.Hinkie orchestrated "The Proce s" that got the Sixers and No. 1 picks and , not to mention a 2018 playoff berth.Jhabvala reports that Hinkie met with the Broncos on Dallas Goedert Jersey  Thursday at their headquarters. GM John Elway was there, along with some of the Broncos' analytics team and their scouts. They were discu sing "how to best use the influx of data they've received over the years to benefit them in player evaluation, in-game situations, salary cap and contract decisions, and training and rehab matters," per The Athletic.While Hinkie, 40, is most well-known for tanking the 76ers Tyree Jackson Jersey  into oblivion from 2013 to 2016, he's not a stranger to the .
