Jeff Legwold ESPN Senior Writer Facebook Twitter Facebook Messenger Pinterest Email print ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Former Denver Broncos running back Ronnie Hillman, who played on two Super Bowl teams, including the Broncos' Super Bowl 50 winner, has died after a bout with cancer, his family said Thursday. He was 31.

Former teammates such as Derek Wolfe and Orlando Franklin had expressed how dire Hillman's health was in recent days, saying Hillman had been moved into hospice care. Franklin took to social media to ask "please pray for Ronnie Hillman ... this ain't fair, please god, please."

Wolfe said that Hillman had liver cancer and contracted pneumonia as well.

I wonder just how long the “experts” can ignore the elephant in the room.

“He had Cancer!”

Right, vaccinated people are dying of fast-moving cancer. My sis-in-law went that way, so did a cousin. Both within weeks of discovery, not years.

How swift it happens is the hint. Weeks, not months or years.

I don’t know if it applies to this death, but it happened suspiciously soon after vaccination in my two cases above.

Some studies say that the vaxx can cause your cells that sense and attack cancer to not recognize the cancer cells.

Funny how the Broncos could find any running back and they would be effective. And here are the Cowboys paying Ezekiel Elliott millions of dollars and he can’t even be as productive.

Cancer sometimes gets young football players, like Brian Piccolo and Ricky Bell.

I attribute that to the zone blocking scheme they perfected. Alex Gibbs, one of the best line coaches anywhere, perfected the technique for the team. It was so effective, many teams complained the Broncos were cheating.

The point being is that it’s silly to pay that kind of money for a running back. Especially one who screwed over the team by getting suspended, and being middle of the pack in terms of getting yards in short-yardage situations. The Cowboys lost me for good after they extended that bum’s contract.

DID A FAMOUS DOCTOR’S COVID SHOT MAKE HIS CANCER WORSE?

A lifelong promoter of vaccines suspects he might be the rare, unfortunate exception.

The Broncos don’t have a mastermind like Jerrah Jones at GM.

He started out like a house afire, but his career was pretty short.

I never liked Jerry Jones, but as long as he’s an enemy of Roger Goodell, I will reluctantly kind of root for him. Bt he better start acting like it.

I wonder if that feud is anything more than Kabuki Theater.
