## Professional career

[edit]

Moses was selected ninth overall in the 1968 NFL/AFL draft by the Buffalo Bills of the AFL. During his fifth season with the Bills in 1972, he was traded in mid-October to the Denver Broncos for wide receiver Dwight Harrison.[2][3] Moses made the AFL All-Star Game in 1969 and the NFL Pro Bowl in 1973. He was a key member of the 1977 team, scoring two touchdowns in the AFC title game on New Year's Day to advance to Super Bowl XII.[4][5][6]

He is on the "Ring of Fame" in Empower Field at Mile High, and was a 1986 inductee to the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame.[7]

As of 2017[update]'s NFL off-season, Haven Moses held at least 2 Broncos franchise records, including:

* Yards/receptions: career (18.05)
* Receiving touchdowns: playoff game (2 on 1978-01-01 OAK)

## Later life

[edit]

In his last four years as a player, in the offseason he worked for Samsonite, the international luggage company headquartered in Denver.[8]

After the 1981 season, Moses retired from the NFL in March at age 35 and went to work for Adolph Coors Company in the community affairs division.[9] He spent 15 years with Coors, seven with the Archdiocese of Denver, and five with the Denver Health Foundation.[8] He also worked as a color commentator on ACC football games for Jefferson-Pilot Sports with play-by-play announcer Mike Patrick in 1985.
