MIAMI — Last year’s NFL Honors event in Atlanta was highlighted from a Broncos perspective by the election of owner Pat Bowlen and cornerback Champ Bailey for enshrinement to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
There was little drama: Bowlen was nominated as a contributor, which means he was a near-lock, and Bailey was viewed as a first-ballot player.
The intrigue for the Broncos will be heightened Saturday when the 48-member selection committee will gather in Miami Beach to elect a class of modern-era players. Safeties Steve Atwater and John Lynch are two of 15 finalists.
