Denver Broncos that should be enshrined in Canton next
By Tylor Walden
The Denver Broncos will see Champ Bailey and Pat Bowlen inducted into the Hall of Fame on Saturday. Here are some past Broncos that should get the nod.
The first weekend in August has gotten off to a great start for the Denver Broncos. The team came from behind to win a close game against the Atlanta Falcons in the Hall of Fame game. And now on Saturday, we will get to see two members from the organization formally enshrined into Canton for eternity.
Champ Bailey and Pat Bowlen will be joining five Broncos of the past in the halls of Canton. Ohio for the remainder of time. Both men mark the second and third Denver Broncos members in the last three years to be enshrined into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
The fact that there are only seven members of the Denver Broncos in the hall is quite surprising given all the players that have played for the organization that performed at a high level. Before Terrell Davis went into the Hall of Fame, the last player to go from Denver was Shannon Sharpe in 2011.
With five players from the Broncos in Canton over the last decade, perhaps the time is coming where there are more that will go in. And that might be the case starting in 2020.
The @ProFootballHOF announces it will have a special centennial class of 20 members next year.5 modern era players, 10 seniors, 3 contributors, 2 coaches. A big chance to clear the backlog of very worthy candidates.
