View all of the Broncos players in the Pro Football Hall of Fame

[ASFN Admin]

Randy Gradishar (2024) was the Denver Broncos' most recent addition to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Gradishar spent his entire career in Denver, but the team's total list of Hall of Famers depends on which players count.

There are several players — running back Floyd Little, quarterback John Elway, safety Steve Atwater, tight end Shanahan Sharpe, offensive lineman Gary Zimmerman, running back Terrell Davis, cornerback Champ Bailey and Gradishar — who are obvious Broncos Hall of Famers. That's eight.

Quarterback Peyton Manning only played four years in Denver, but he won the AFC West in all four seasons and won Super Bowl 50 with the Broncos. That's nine. Outside linebacker DeMarcus Ware spent the majority of his career with the Dallas Cowboys, but he won his ring in Denver. Ten.

John Lynch won a Super Bowl with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but he, like Manning, played the final four years of his career with the Broncos — and he's a member of the team's Ring of Fame. Eleven.

So Gradishar was essentially the 11th Denver player to reach Canton. There are others, though. Safety Brian Dawkins played three seasons with the Broncos. Cornerback Willie Brown played four seasons in Denver before a 12-year stint with the Oakland Raiders. Running back Tony Dorsett and cornerback Ty Law also spent one season each with the Broncos.

Additionally, late team owner Pat Bowlen was enshrined in the Hall of Fame in 2019. So there are at least a dozen members of the Hall of Fame who Broncos fans can claim as their own. Up next should be former coach Mike Shanahan, who was snubbed again by voters in 2026.

Here's a quick list of every former Bronco in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
