McCaffrey and the foundation have been running the camps since 2010. Individuals with Down Syndrome had several practices this week and the big game was on Saturday at Valor Christian High School in Highlands Ranch.
Broncos like Danny Trevathan were there to support their team, "Leave it all on the field, man, that's what it's all about, let's get team on three!" as they prepared to take the field.
The players and cheerleaders were excited to be there for the big game.
"Well my favorite position is wide receiver like Ed McCaffrey, he's my idol, and I know him personally because of football camp, he's just a great guy and I'm glad to be a part of this," said player Michael Waters.
