Ryan Craig Denney (born June 15, 1977 in Denver, Colorado) is an American Football defensive end who currently plays for the Buffalo Bills of the National Football League. He was originally drafted by the Bills in the second round (61st overall) of the 2002 NFL Draft. He played college football at Brigham Young.
[edit] High School Years
Denney attended Horizon High School (Thornton, Colorado) and won three varsity letters in football and two in basketball. In football, as a senior, he was named the Denver Post Defensive Player of the Year, won All-Conference honors as both an offensive lineman and as a defensive lineman, and won All-State honors as a defensive lineman. Denney graduated from Horizon High School in 1995. He served as a Mormon missionary for two years in Argentina before playing for Brigham Young University in college.
[edit] Professional Years
Ryan had a spectacular game against the Miami Dolphins on September 17, 2006, when he recorded 3 sacks on Miami Quarterback, Daunte Culpepper in just the first half of the game.
On August 17, 2007, during the opening kickoff of a preseason game against the Atlanta Falcons, Denney suffered a broken bone in his foot. The injury required surgery and is expected to keep Denney out for a significant portion (if not all) of the 2007 season.
He is one of three Bills position players to play in every year since 2003.
At the end of the 2007 NFL season he has played in the league for six years.
Ryan is the brother of Miami Dolphins long snapper John Denney.
