Legacy led Mitchell back to Calgary

Bo Levi Mitchell had just finished his December workout in Denver when he found himself standing face to face with one of his boyhood idols.

John Elway, the pro football Hall of Famer and current Broncos team president, was praising Mitchell’s workout and career in Canada when the Canadian Football League’s reigning Most Outstanding Player asked if he could interrupt.

“I said, ‘John, listen, everywhere I’ve been my entire life in football – high school, college, professional – I’ve won a championship. And I’ve done it within the first two years that I’ve been there. I know you. You’re a championship guy and you want to hold the Lombardi Trophy over your head. So if you want to do that, sign me and I’ll get it done in the next two to three years.‘ ”

Elway responded immediately. “Okay. We’re signing you today.”
