Mile High Morning: 'The Franchise' Floyd Little diagnosed with cancer, per former Syracuse teammate

Hall of Fame and Broncos Ring of Fame running back Floyd Little is battling cancer, one of his former college teammates told Syracuse.com.

Pat Killorin, who played with Floyd at Syracuse in the 1960s, set up the fundraiser to help pay for the treatment costs.

“Floyd was recently diagnosed with a treatable but aggressive form of cancer. No doubt it will be the toughest fight of his life,” Killorin wrote on the page.

"We believe the last thing we want our friend Floyd to do is worry about this expense or to give up in order to avoid it," Killorin wrote. "We don't believe Floyd should have to make these kinds of choices when his focus must be on becoming the next cancer survivor we all celebrate."

Little also had a prolific college career at Syracuse that landed him in the College Football Hall of Fame. During his three years with the Orange, Little recorded All-America team selections from several media outlets each year from 1964-66.

Also known as "The Franchise" among Broncos fans, Little became the Broncos' first first-round pick to sign with the team. In nine years in Denver, Little earned five Pro Bowl selections and one first-team All-Pro nod. He was the leading rusher in the NFL in 1971 and scored the most rushing touchdowns in 1973.

Little was one of the four original inductees into the Ring of Fame in 1984 and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2010. His No. 44 jersey number is one of three retired by the team.

Broncos get creative with 'South Park' cardboard cutouts as 5,700 fans attend Week 3 game

The Denver Broncos are preparing to have 5,700 fans in attendance when they take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Sunday afternoon but that doesn’t mean the stadium is going to be empty by any means.

Empower Field at Mile High can seat 76,124 people and despite opening the season with no fans, the Broncos will be at 7.5% capacity when they take on Tom Brady. But, you can expect to see some familiar faces filling up the rest of the stadium.

The team announced Sunday that they will have cardboard cutouts of the entire town of Comedy Central’s popular show “South Park.”
