Terrell Davis...hall of fame?

Interesting trivia sidetrack: who are the former Denver Broncos in the Pro Football Hall of Fame?

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Not for 5, but for 2 years he did.

2004 T Barber 2096
2003 L Tomlinson 2370
2002 P Holmes 2287
2001 P Holmes 2169
2000 E James 2303
1999 M Faulk 2429

My bad, he averaged more yards from scrimmage than anyone else. I read it wrong.

I think the only Bronco to be in the Hall of Fame because of things he did with the Broncos is Elway.

I know Dorsett is in the Hall and was a Bronco at one point. Didn't Willie Brown play in Denver, too?

[ShoogarBear]

I can't believe you got Willie Brown.

Yep, that's the entire list. No wonder people in Denver are hankering for some HoFers.

Steve A er is getting screwed, and probably Tom Jackson, too.

Romo maybe had an outside shot before the steroid stuff broke.

I'm not sure that Tom Jackson has a great HOF argument; to go back to the other thread, he made 3 Pro Bowls in the late 70's, but played most of his career as a non-Pro Bowl player. That's not to hate on him, but his argument is fueled, I think, more by the love that he gets at ESPN than for how he performed -- he was a fine player in his era, but probably not a hall-of-famer.

I'm not sold on A er, either.

I am sold on the notion that Shannon Sharpe and Gary Zimmerman are both going to the Hall, mostly for what they did as Broncos. I think Rod Smith is with them. And, perhaps, Davis.

mecklenburg made 6 pro bowls as a bronco.

i guess i killed the thread!

John Elway and John Elway

[TheTruth]

Well, he's the only one in as a Bronco...

[samikeyp]

Technically the Broncos have three..

Willie Brown (a Bronco from 1963-66)
Tony Dorsett (1988)
John Elway (1983-98)

[FromWayDowntown]

I thought someone with a screen name quite similar to mine had already posted those answers.

[samikeyp]

My bad....I missed it.

[ShoogarBear]

Yeah, but mikey's was posted with authority, not as some wild-ass guess.

[johngateswhiteley]

i don't know if you can put TD in the HOF...but i would.

[slayermin]

Yes.

He is right there with Bo Jackson, Walter Payton, and Marshall Faulk among the best running backs I have ever seen play the position.

The Tyler Rose and the Juice were a little before my time, but from the film I have seen of those two, they would have easily made my list.

Ladainan Tomlinson is still playing so I won't include him on the list just yet.

And no, I did not forget about Barry Sanders or Emmitt Smith.
