Elway is a morally bankrupt weasel who managed to get wealthy because he can throw a football. He is not as universally loved here as you think. He would do best to stick with football and not embarass himself by trying to run for office. Colorado republicans have much better material to work with than Elway. And I say this as a lifelong football/bronco fan
Just out of curiosity why do you say he is morally bankrupt?
