ATLANTA — The children of Broncos owner Pat Bowlen had more than five months to process the idea of him being elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame since he was nominated in the Contributor’s category in late August.
When Hall of Fame president David Baker knocked on their door Saturday afternoon to inform them of his induction, did the reality match the anticipation?
“It hasn’t really sunk in fully yet and it’s already exceeded expectations,” Beth Bowlen Wallace said.
Said Patrick Bowlen III: “Absolutely (matched the expectations). This has been an exhilarating experience.”
Six of Pat Bowlen’s children (one son and all five of his daughters) were in Atlanta this weekend for the festivities.
