He’s an antelope hunter who’s been known to roam Medicine Bow Peak. Grandpa and Dad both played college ball at the War in Laramie. Favorite colors? Easy — brown and gold.

Meet Frank Crum, a Broncos offensive lineman who’s a Wyoming man through and through.

“Fishing’s a little easier. We do it in the summer,” Crum tells me, shortly after making the cut and Sean Payton’s 53-man roster as an undrafted Poke. “Hunting’s during football season.

“I miss going hunting. But I love football, so….”

You won’t see Crum and his flowing, golden locks on the field when the Broncos open the season Sunday at Seattle’s Lumen Field against the Seahawks. The rookie will be inactive.

But as someone who believes Wyoming is a step closer to heaven, I must say: it’s a huge deal when Wyoming puts one of its own on a Broncos roster. Denver’s drafted only four Pokes ever.

And the state of Wyoming is diehard Broncos Country.

Wyoming has 11 players on NFL rosters to open the season, according to 7220Sports.com. That’s more than Colorado, Colorado State or Air Force, which has former Falcons star Jordan Jackson on the Broncos’ defensive line. Heads up, Alabama. Wyoming’s churning them out.

“I take a great deal of pride being from Wyoming,” Crum says. “I know there’s so much support from the Wyoming folks. They support Wyoming people — guys who played there but also who are from there. It’s a whole state effort. ‘One Wyoming’ is the slogan for a reason.”

When Sean Payton eventually activates Crum on game day, you won’t miss him. He’s roughly the size of Medicine Bow Peak. The growth spurt arrived between his freshman and sophomore years at Laramie High, where Crum first dunked a basketball at the age of 14. It seemed like he went from 6-foot-2 to 6-foot-7 in the time it takes to drift the Grey Reef tailwater on the North Platte River outside of Casper.

Crum actually received a few recruiting letters from lower-level Colorado basketball programs.

Three undrafted players made the Broncos’ 53-man roster, a tradition: Crum, linebacker Levelle Bailey and running back Blake Watson.

“His tape has been really good,” Payton said of Crum.

For a third-generation Wyoming Cowboy, the Broncos are a dream come true. The late Earl Crum, his grandfather, played at Wyoming before serving in World War II… then returning to earn a football letter at Wisconsin.

“Think about that,” Frank says.

Gary Crum, his dad, was a Wyoming captain and offensive and defensive lineman in the 1980s.

“Really good players from what I’ve been told,” Frank says.

Even so, Week 2 against the Pittsburgh Steelers will be Crum’s first regular-season game at Empower Field at Mile High. Active or not, the proud Wyoming man will have a few fans there.

‘One Wyoming’ is the slogan for a reason.

“We grew up Broncos fans,” Crum says. “The majority of Wyoming is. Makes it pretty special to be here. I’m so fired up. This is a special group on the ‘O-line.’ Working every day.”
