The Denver Broncos are trying to win a Super Bowl, and they might just have the player with the coolest name in the NFL trying to help them do it.
That would be Lil'Jordan Humphrey, the big-bodied wide receiver.
Every time a new fan hears his name on a broadcast, it catches the ear.
Wait, did they say "little Jordan"? Yeah, pretty much.
And believe it or not, it's not just some kind of nickname.
