Denver Broncos legend Steve Atwater has been voted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2020. It has been a long wait for him and one of frustration for fans, but that wait and that frustration gave way to elation on Saturday with news that he made the final cut. For Atwater, there was excitement and relief that his wait is finally over.
“Excitement more than anything else,” Atwater said. “I guess there is some relief because although I tried to play it kind of calm and cool, it was kind of stressful situation just wondering if it would be this year or next year of maybe never.
