Big Day for Broncos Mecklenburg, Atwater, T.D. and Hall of Fame

[Denver Native (Carol)]

At long last, the Pro Football Hall of Fame is recognizing that the Broncos of yesteryear had some incredible players besides John Elway.

It took Elway to become the first “true” Bronco to become inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2004. The Hall was 44 years old in 2007 and Elway was all the Broncos had in Canton. Then it was Gary Zimmerman in 2008, Floyd Little in 2010 and Shannon Sharpe in 2011.

The door is ajar. Today, three former Broncos — count ‘em, three — made the 26-member modern-era semifinal list for the class of 2012.

all 3 deserve it ! T.D is gonna have a hard time getting in based solely on the fact that his career was cut short.
it will be a great debate for years to come,But i think evemntually he will make it.
we all know without him Elway may well have retired with a great career behind him and no rings.
TD was the man that put the broncos over the top:salute:

All 3 DEF deserve it BUT as deserving is #53 Randy Gardishar. He was even better than Meck IMO.

I dont care who was better than who. They all need to get in. Dallas and Pitt have TONS of players in there so adding 3 more Broncos wouldnt hurt anyone.

Sadly I dont see any of them making it.
