  • Had his best season as a pro catching passes from Peyton Manning in 2004.

  • More impressive was the fact that he became part of the first trio of 1,000 yard receivers in a season (alongside Reggie Wayne and Marvin Harrison).
  • Injuries really sapped his next two seasons to the bone as he caught just 49 passes.

  • Injuries plagued Brandon again in 2011, and after a disappointing two games with the Giants- he’d be cut.
  • 2012, was a reunion of sorts for Brandon, paired back up in Denver with his former Colts QB Peyton Manning.
  • Stokely posted 45 catches for 544 yards and 5 TDs for the Broncos as they won the Super Bowl.
  • He’d resign with the Ravens in 2013, seeing action in 6 contests- but having his season and career ended by a concussion.
  • Since he retired, Brandon has done sports radio in the Denver area.

ACCOLADES:

  • (ULM) Louisiana Athletics Hall of Fame 2008
  • Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame 2018

NOTES:

I always seemed to get Brandon confused with other receivers who played in Indianapolis around this period of time. (Anthony Gonzalez and Austin Collie.) The Score 2009 set is a need, so I shot this one out to him along with the really nice Adrenalyn card.
