FAYETTEVILLE — More than 20 years after playing his final game, Steve Atwater has reportedly been elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Atwater, the former Arkansas All-America safety, was one of five modern-era players elected to the hall of fame this weekend, according to multiple reports, including The Denver Post and The Athletic. The class will be formally announced later Saturday as part of the NFL’s end-of-year awards banquet in Miami.
He would be the fifth former Razorback to be elected to the hall, and second this year.
