One of my favorite Bronocos of all time will get his name on the Ring of Fame this season. Steve Atwater was a great player, a great person, and one of the biggest hitters ever.
A lot of people made a big deal about Elway finally getting his Super Bowl rings. But Atwater was around for some of those Super Blowouts, too, so it was equally nice to see him get those rings.
Everyone talks about the hit he made on Christian Okoye while miked up on MNF. He knocked the Nigerian Nightmare backward a few yards and then talked a little smack. Okoye was never the same and disappeared from football shortly after. I don't know if that hit was what changed things for Okoye, but I like to think it was!
