The name Barney Chavous doesn’t get the credit or recognition it deserves.
There are always players who fall into the unheralded category. Heck, two of the best players in Denver Broncos history will finally get their place in the Ring of Fame in Steve Foley and Riley Odoms. So Chavous isn’t alone in that regard.
Chavous is also atop the list.
I wasn’t alive for most of Chavous’s 13-year career in Denver. Obviously, I’ve heard the name. But in researching his spot in the Top 50 Broncos series that MHR is currently doing, I discovered Chavous is one of the best players in franchise history on one of the best defenses in NFL history.
