ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Otis Armstrong’s shifty running was a staple of Broncos football throughout much of the 1970s, and now the former Denver running back will be enshrined in the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame.

Armstrong – who played all eight of his NFL seasons with the Broncos, rushing for 4,453 yards and helping Denver reach its first Super Bowl in 1977 – will join recently retired Rockies first basemen Todd Helton, Forrest B. “Frosty” Cox, Andy Gambucci, Darian Hagan and Dorthy Mauk as the Hall of Fame’s Class of 2014.

A multi-purpose threat who also had 1,302 receiving yards and scored 32 career touchdowns – 25 rushing and seven receiving – Armstrong was a leading force of the Broncos’ running attack between 1973 and 1980, including an NFL-best 1,407 rushing yards in 1974. He ranks fourth all-time in rushing yards in Broncos history.
