Biography

A three year starter at left guard for the Duke Blue Devils, Lennie was named All-Atlantic Coast Conference first team in 1998. During his career, the Blue Devils struggled to complete, compiling an overall record of 6-27-0 during Friedman's final three years.

In 1999, the Broncos selected him in the 2nd round (61st pick overall) of the NFL Draft. He suffered a torn ACL in training camp that year and was placed on injured reserve for the season. When he recovered enough to compete, he joined the Barcelona Dragons in the NFL Europe League. He was named to the All-NFL Europe League team, and to the Iron Man team -- he played every offensive down!

In 2000, Lennie played in all 16 of Denver's regular season games, starting eight of them in place of the injured Marc Schlereth. On December 31, he started for the Broncos in their AFC Wild Card loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
