Broncos make Willis McGahee a team captain

Broncos running back Willis McGahee on Wednesday replaced the departed Kyle Orton as a team captain.

"He had the next most votes when we took the vote back before the season started," Broncos coach John Fox said. "So we took the next guy on the pecking order.

"He's certainly one of the leaders in our locker room."

McGahee has rushed for 658 yards this season on 139 carries, leading a run-heavy Broncos offense.

He arrived as a free agent this season, his eighth as an NFL pro. He previously played in Baltimore and Buffalo.
