Moreno was a First Round Draft Pick, 12th Overall,
last weekend. Followed by Robert Ayers at 18th.
The Broncos organization called Williams mother, Rosalind Williams, to ask permission to use her late sons number 27.
Moreno wore the number to the teams voluntary minicamp on Friday.
There is a condition, however. The Williams family plans to ask Moreno to donate some time every month to the Darrent Williams Teen Center. The center was opened last May to honor the memory of Darrent Williams in a Denver low-income area.
"We knew that number wasn't going to be on the shelf forever," said Troy Asmus, spokesman for the Williams family. "We would like Knowshon to be part of the community center to help with the growth and maturation of these kids."
Morenos college number, 24, is currently worn by Pro Bowl, All-Pro cornerback Champ Bailey.
