A 1^st Round Pick (12^th Overall) in 2008, Ryan Clady would have an excellent rookie campaign where he was named a Second Team All-Pro and finished third in Offensive Rookie of the Year voting.  Clady, who was instituted as the starting Left Tackle as soon as he began his professional career, would be named to his first Pro Bowl and First Team All-Pro and he would remain an upper echelon Offensive Lineman with three more Pro Bowls and one more First Team All-Pro nod.  A torn ACL would take him out of the 2015 season, but he would finish his career in 2016 with a final season with the New York Jets.

Arguably the best Safety in the American Football League days of the Denver Broncos, Goose Gonsoulin would lead the AFL in Interceptions as a rookie in 1960, which coincidentally was also the “rookie” year of the AFL.  Gonsoulin would finish in the top eight in pick the next five seasons, and he would be an AFL All-Star four times while also being named a First Team All-AFL selection twice.  At the time of his signing with the San Francisco 49ers in 1967, he was the all-time leader (though passed) in Interceptions with 40.

Gonsoulin entered the Broncos Ring of Fame as part of the first class in 1984.

Drafted 5th Overall in 1972 from the University of Houston, Riley Odoms would have a very good career in the NFL, which all transpired in Denver.  Odoms was one of the better receiving Tight Ends of his day, and he would be named to four Pro Bowls (1973, 1974, 1975 & 1978) with two of those seasons earning him a First Team All-Pro nod.  He would retire with 396 Receptions for 5,755 Yards and 41 Touchdowns.

Jason Elam was drafted in the 3^rd Round in 1993, and it proved to be a high-value selection as the Place Kicker would participate in 236 Games over 15 years as a Denver Bronco.  Elam was a member of the first two Broncos Super Bowl wins, and he would be named to three Pro Bowls (1995, 1998 & 2001) and at one time he co-held the record for the longest Field Goal made with a 63 Yarder.

Elam entered the Broncos Ring of Fame in 2016.
