The knock he’s waited so long to hear finally came.
Steve Atwater is a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Read that again and let it sink in. It really is real. This isn’t “fake news.” The Smilin’ Assassin is finally headed to Canton, Ohio. The Denver Broncos legend joins the Modern-Era Class of 2020 that was selected on Saturday in Miami.
Camping out at NFL Honors, Steve Atwater being ushered into the show. He’s in. Atwater a Hall of Famer. #9sports

Atwater becomes just the second Broncos defensive player to earn a bust in the Hall of Fame, joining Champ Bailey who was inducted last year.
