Here's a look at every player in the Broncos' Ring of Fame.
The Denver Broncos are represented by a dozen players and late former owner Pat Bowlen in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Denver also has its own Broncos Ring of Fame, reserved for the greatest players, coaches and owners in franchise history. After electing wide receiver Demaryius Thomas in his first year of eligibility, there will now be 38 individuals in the team’s Ring of Fame.
Before DT's addition, the most recent inductees were safety Steve Foley and tight end Riley Odoms in 2024. In addition to 33 players, the Broncos Ring of Fame also includes three former coaches and two former owners.
The first players added in 1984 were safety Austin “Goose” Gonsoulin, defensive end Rich Jackson, running back Floyd Little and wide receiver Lionel Taylor.
Little is one of 10 former Broncos who are in the Pro Football Hall of Fame and the Broncos Ring of Fame, joining QB John Elway, LB Randy Gradishar, OL Gary Zimmerman, DB Steve Atwater, RB Terrell Davis, TE Shannon Sharpe, DB John Lynch, CB Champ Bailey and Manning.
