ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- It is a testament to the quality of John Lynch's play and the impact he made on the Broncos in just four seasons that he becomes one of just three members of the Ring of Fame to have played only four seasons in orange and blue, joining Frank Tripucka and Charley Johnson.
But the truth is that few players made more of such a short time with the Broncos than Lynch, who was a team captain, locker-room pillar, four-time Pro Bowler and partnered with Champ Bailey to help create one of the best secondaries of the 2000s.
