DENVER — Two former Denver Broncos superstars — running back Terrell Davis and safety John Lynch — were named among 15 finalists for the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2015 Thursday night.
Both will be considered for enshrinement into the Hall of Fame when the 46-member selection committee meets on January 31 in Glendale, Arizona — the eve of Super Bowl XLIX.
There are four players from the Broncos in the Hall:
- John Elway (2004)
- Gary Zimmerman (2008)
- Floyd Little (2010)
- Shannon Sharpe (2011)
