Super Bowl Briefs: Steve Atwater hopes more Broncos follow him into Hall of Fame

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — The doors at the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio, have swung open in recent years for the Broncos.

From 1984-2008, only John Elway and Gary Zimmerman were inducted after playing an entire career or prime years with the Broncos.

But since 2009, six induction years will include a Broncos player, including this August with safety Steve Atwater, who was selected Saturday. The list includes running back Floyd Little (2010), tight end Shannon Sharpe (2011), running back Terrell Davis (2017) and cornerback Champ Bailey (2019) in addition to owner Pat Bowlen (2019).
