2-Year-Old Broncos Fan Shows Off Stellar Broncos Brain

By Joel Hillan

DENVER (CBS4) - Mark McCue tweeted video of his two-year-old son Max naming Broncos players based on their playing cards on Tuesday—he had no idea it was about to go viral.

"The broncos picked it up and then that's where it just sort of took off from there," said Mark.

It all started with baseball cards handed out to kids at a Rockies game.

"Say Nolan Arenado," Mark said to Max, "Nolan Arenado," he replied.

And then they got cards at Broncos training camp.

"He came home one day and the Von Miller card was on the ground and he just grabbed it and said Von Miller. So then I grabbed the rest of the cards and decided to see what else he knew and he knew most of the players that we did."

Unfortunately that Von Miller card has gone missing.

"He talks about Von Miller a lot and we just hope we can find it one day," said Dad.

He also hopes Max can use his skills to serve the Broncos organization.

"He is available to do PA for the public address announcer, except for nothing past 7 p.m., he goes to bed at 7 p.m., but any 2 p.m. game he'd do well."

And of course mom and dad would have to come too.

"I'd be his body guard and then, you know, he needs his mother as well.  His mother is the athlete of the family."

The McCue's will soon be adding to the family with a baby boy due in November—another Broncos fan—just the way it should be.
