More Super Bowl appearances than losing seasons. Nearly 350 wins. Conference championships with four different head coaches. And a leader at the NFL level.
All of that was enough for Broncos owner Pat Bowlen to be nominated Thursday for induction to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Finally, those around him believe.
“If you dig up the history of the NFL as a whole and where it is today, Pat Bowlen was a visionary,” said former Broncos receiver Rod Smith.
The Contributor’s Selection Committee agreed. The five-person panel of media members selected Bowlen and former Dallas personnel executive Gil Brandt as their Class of 2019 nominees.
