The Pro Football Hall of Fame has announced 173 Modern-Era nominees for its Class of 2024, and there are more than a dozen former Broncos who will be considered to move on to the semifinalist stage.
Among the 16 former Broncos are three Ring of Famers: wide receiver Rod Smith, center Tom Nalen and kicker Jason Elam. Smith, the franchise's all-time receiving leader and a three-time Pro Bowler, is widely regarded as the greatest undrafted wideout in NFL history. Nalen was a five-time Pro Bowler and two-time first-team All-Pro, and he is second in franchise history in career starts. Elam, a three-time Pro Bowler, is the franchise's all-time leader in points, field goals and games played.
Those three and fellow nominees Mark Schlereth and Neil Smith were also part of the Broncos' back-to-back Super Bowl-winning teams in 1997-98. Schlereth, a two-time Pro Bowl selection, also won a championship with Washington prior to joining the Broncos. Smith was a six-time Pro Bowler who also played for Kansas City and San Diego.
