MIAMI — When the big knock finally came for the biggest hitter in Broncos history, it shook Steve Atwater from head to toe right down to his very soul.
“When I heard the knock on the door, I knew it was time,” Atwater said Saturday.
The big knock ended a long wait for Atwater to join the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
A year ago, while awaiting his fate in a hotel room in Atlanta, the only knock Atwater got on Super Bowl eve was from a very embarrassed and apologetic maid. “So I tried to play it cool this time,” he admitted.
