    Default 'Steve Atwater belongs with the gold jackets': Hall of Famers Michael Irvin, Deion Sanders remember Atwater's impact on the NFL

    MIAMI BEACH, Fla. — A pair of Hall of Famers had high praise Thursday for former Broncos safety Steve Atwater as he nears potential election into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

    "Steve Atwater's a beast, man," former Cowboys receiver Michael Irvin said. "Just flat out, he was a beast. And he came up, the way he played safety was the way you play safety. You did not want to get hit by Steve Atwater, man. We all remember the Christian Okoye play. Boom — in his tracks right there. That shows you the kind of hitter he is."

    Irvin, a five-time Pro Bowler and one-time first-team All-Pro, had nearly a concurrent career with Atwater. The Cowboys great entered the league a year before Atwater and the two remained in the NFL until they both retired following the 1999 season.

    Default As Hall of Fame vote nears, former Broncos safety Steve Atwater shares memories of five selected games

    MIAMI — Former Broncos safety Steve Atwater was scheduled to arrive here Thursday, two days ahead of the vote to determine the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s Class of 2020.

    He hopes to stay until Monday.

    If Atwater is elected in his third time as a finalist, he will attend Sunday’s San Francisco-Kansas City Super Bowl and be honored on the field. If he is denied, he will fly home to Denver on Sunday.

    “I’m hoping we get a different result,” Atwater said recently in an interview with The Denver Post at the Broncos’ facility. “I’m just hoping to stay in a positive mindset. When you go into this expecting something, it’s easy to get your heart broken.”
