Brandon Stokley (born June 23, 1976 in Blacksburg, Virginia) is an American football player in the National Football League who currently plays for the Denver Broncos. He was drafted by the Baltimore Ravens out of the University of Louisiana at Lafayette in the fourth round (105th pick overall) of the 1999 NFL Draft. Stokley won a championship ring in Super Bowl XXXV as a member of the Ravens. In the game, he caught 3 passes for 52 yards, including a 38-yard touchdown reception in the first quarter.
On December 26, 2004, Stokley received the record-breaking 21-yard touchdown pass for Peyton Manning in the hunt to break Dan Marino's record of 48 touchdown passes in a season. That year, he had a breakthrough season with 68 passes caught for 1,077 yards and 10 touchdowns and an average of 15.8 yards per catch. Furthermore, the TD catch made the 2004 Colts the first NFL team to have three WR with 1000 receiving yards and 10 TDs or more in a season, the other two being Reggie Wayne and Marvin Harrison. The next two seasons of Stokley's career were marred by various injuries. After participating in only four games of the 2006 season, the Indianapolis Colts terminated his contract on March 1, 2007.
He signed with the Denver Broncos on March 14. On December 7, 2007 he signed a 3-year extension with the team.
