Dumervil was on the roster when the Broncos drafted Von Miller back in 2011, and Miller and Dumervil became known as "Doom and Gloom" to opposing quarterbacks who they often sacked.

Dumervil ranks fifth in Broncos franchise history with 63 1/2 sacks.

Congrats to @EKD92! Played seven years with the Broncos and made three Pro Bowls, including his 2009 season in which he led the NFL with 17 sacks.

Fifth in team history with 63.5 sacks, Elvis joins @VonMiller & Simon Fletcher as the only Broncos with three seasons of 11+ sacks. https://t.co/wI8DjdoOoQ
