broncos_fan _from _uk Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Now none of these guys has a really strong case but they do have broncos connection ( let's be honest probably hurts their chances) WR: Rod Smith OL: Chris Hinton (the centerpiece of the Elway trade), Tom Nalen DL: Michael Dean Perry, Neil Smith LB: Karl Mecklenburg DB: Steve Atwater, Brian Dawkins, John Lynch, Dennis Smith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnAngryAmerican Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Good list Josh. I'd add a few names. The easiest two that come to mind are Mr. Bowlen and Randy Gradishar. Don't even get me started on the HOF passing over Mr. B again, I'll get banned from this site if I share my true feelings on that. There are two who are coming eligible in the next few years who are locks on the first ballot, Champ and Peyton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broncos_fan _from _uk Posted September 13, 2017 Author Share Posted September 13, 2017 Sorry, I should clarify. This IS the list that the NFL approved today. Gradishar should be in, but now has to fight through the senior committee. And I think the NFL is waiting for Mr. B to die. I think that they are trying to avoid the awkwardness of him sitting there at his own induction unable to give the speech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the induction speech would be given by Elway, right? I don't know if any of his family would want to do it, Elway is a great public speaker too.

Broncofan Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 I just LOL'd at the fact the HoF got the wrong Steve Smith nominated. SSS from CAR/BAL retired 1 year ago, and was ineligible. The nominator(s) didn't realize it was the NYG WR Steve Smith. Way to go.... https://www.si.com/nfl/2017/09/12/other-steve-smith-shockingly-nominated-pro-football-hof Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be more forgiving of a silly mistake if the nomination process wasn't already so questionable (that's being kind) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
