Four former Broncos—RB Terrell Davis, S Steve Atwater, S John Lynch, LB Karl Mecklenburg—have once again been named as semifinalists for a Pro Football Hall of Fame class, repeating the results of 2015.

Cornerback Ty Law, a Bronco for a year, also was selected as a semifinalist.

Out of 108 nominees, the Hall of Fame Selection Committee whittled the list down to 25 players. Only six of the 25 are defensive players, meaning half of the list spent significant portions of their career in Denver, and four of the six spent at least a year in Denver.

This marks Davis' 10th year as a semifinalist, Atwater's fifth, Lynch's fourth and Mecklenburg's fifth.

The list will be reduced to 15 modern-era finalists on Jan. 5, and the Class of 2016 will be selected on Jan. 31, 2016.

These four former Broncos have the potential of joining already-enshrined teammates quarterback John Elway (2004), tackle Gary Zimmerman (2008), running back Floyd Little (2010) and tight end Shannon Sharpe (2011).

Lynch is the most likely to go in and the one I'd least like to see named of the four.

But we know the drill. 1 Cowboy, 1 Steeler, 1 Raider, 1 overrated WR. Same ole same ole.

The guy is awesome. I'm sure I've told the story before, but his rookie year he and his wife lived at an apartment complex that my parents managed in Aurora and would throw the football around the courtyard area with us kids and played mock football with us. It was super cool.
