Steve and Terrell was my favorite players for all the years they played. Two great humans and a violent players. T.D still looks like a beast even still today. Two of the best players we ever had in Denver. Such a beautiful family and the wife is a one in a million lady. Nice work team Atwater. We are proud and love you in colorado.
I remember the day they drafted Steve. I was in the 9th grade and was already a rabid Broncos fan. I saw him play a couple times on TV but had no idea the way he and Dennis would team up for, IMO the best safety duo in NFL history.
I was lucky enough to get to work the broncos training camp back when it was at UNC. I got to know Steve a little over the 2 summers I worked the camps Steve, Idont know if you will ever read this but I LOVED watching you play. John and the offense were always fun... but I was ALWAYS excited on every snap on defense.... cuz I knew you were on the field and would PROBABLY made the tackle. You are, by far, the hardest hitting man in the business. I still have one of your jerseys and wear it proudly on Sundays. Thank you for all the sacrifices you made to bring us such fun, excitement and unforgettable memories (thinking the Nigerian Nightmare, SB50 off the top of my head) ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I remember watching the okoye hit and it is the greatest hit in BRONCOS history; okoye was never the same again after that, he was having nightmares of Steve I bet!
In 1989, i was in high school. I was a Broncos fan, and I was convinced that Louis Oliver was the pick. Why, because they said he ran a 4.3. forty. Nobody had mentioned Steve Atwater. I was pissed when they chose Atwater over Oliver. To quote an old Garth Brooks son. Sometimes I thank God, for unanswered prayers... Steve Atwater is arguably the best first round pick in the history of the franchise. We don't win SB XXXII w/out him, and he is a HOF player if there ever was one. Congratulations and thanks for the memories. :)
Outstanding.... mile high saalluute... yesir, well deserved my man. #49 hopefully not far behind with tht gold jacket action. With all due respect as well, can we get the #27 jersey retired and up with #18 and #7 in the South Stands. It would also be nice to get #30, #84, and #80 retired as well. Much love tho. GOD bless ya Mr. Atwater and blessings to all the rest of Broncos country
Steve is a model athlete and person! I just love the guy and have been a fan since 1989. He was so deserving of Hall Of Fame induction, he should have been a first ballot though but at least they didn't keep him out, because that would of been an atrocity.
It's about time the Broncos are adequately recognized by the HOF. Took long enough. Here's hoping Wilson-Simmons/Surtain will have the same ring as Elway-Atwater and Manning-No Fly Zone. A+ human being and the embodiment of the Denver Broncos.
Atwater was and is the GOAT! so fun to watch him all those years as i was growing up
So happy for you Steve. And proud.
Steve Atwater is my all-time favorite Defensive player, HOF was long overdue.
Fantastic video Broncos! So deserving. Congrats Steve! The longer the wait the more special the moment is!

Life long Broncos fan. As well as all my big ass family. And Atwater is top on our favorites. 👍 along with Gradishar and Rulon.
A well deserved accolade for one of the best safeties to ever play the game.
Said, perfectly

One of five first rounders in the 1989 draft in the HOF. Pretty good company.
My favorite defensive player of all time.

Dennis Smith should be in the HOF too
Back when it was smashmouth was just watching 97 super bowl and I'm packers fan
Thats a trip. He was drafted a few days before i was born

My all time favorites athlete. #27
This dude is my favorite all-time defensive player. Much better than Ronnie Lott!!! Steve should be in the Hall of Fame!!!
THE MAN!

One word?
IMPACTOR..
Besides Elway, Atwater was my 2nd favorite Bronco.
We love you 27!! You were the MVP of SB32.
Go Broncos
DB4L 🧡💙
imagine running an in route and you got atwater waiting at safety...😔
GO BRONCOS
HOF 27 ATWATER BRONCOS
People were always surprised Elway was not my favorite player.
🧡🧡🧡
27 4 Life as a bronco
at water should have gone in way before terrell davis
123 BRONCOS 🏈
his is the only jersey i own
The Nuggets make me sad
I’m happy for Atwater but both Louis Wright and Randy Gradishaw might be more worthy.
Why does he deserve it ? He was a hard hitting back I don’t remember anything special he did
Early onset Alzheimer's is truly a tragic situation to find yourself in. My sincere condolences.
If Steve played today he would be fined every game and probably suspended 💀
Atwater would not even be allowed to play in todays NFL. I wonder if he can even watch it.
