ENGLEWOOD, Colo. – Four players honored in the Denver Broncos' Ring of Fame and six of the team’s former players overall were among the 26 semifinalists announced Wednesday for the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s Class of 2017.
Ring of Famers Steve Atwater, Terrell Davis, John Lynch and Karl Mecklenburg were among the semifinalists. Two other former Broncos – Brian Dawkins and Ty Law – also were among the group.
The list of semifinalists will be trimmed to 15 finalists by the Hall’s Board of Selectors in the coming weeks. The finalists are reviewed the day before the Super Bowl, and up to five are selected for the Class of ’17.
