ON THE COVER Featured on the cover of the 2004 Denver Broncos media guide is an artistic rendering by Denver artist Jay Snellgrove. The cover is a celebration of quarterback John Elway, who is being inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2004. Elway becomes the first player to be enshrined into the Hall of Fame after having played his entire career as a member of the Denver Broncos. Snellgrove's work is done in pointillism, which is an impressionistic technique begun in France in the 19th century. Jay Snellgrove also did the 1996 Broncos media guide cover.
