Yes, we know that this is taking a while!
As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists out and we always consistently look to update them when we can and based on necessity. As such, we are very happy to present our pre-2021 revision of our top 50 Denver Broncos of all-time.
As for all of our top 50 players in football we look at the following:
1. Advanced Statistics.
2. Traditional statistics and how they finished in the NFL.
3. Playoff accomplishments.
4. Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.
This our first revision in two years, with one significant jump and one new entry.
1. John Elway
3. Von Miller
5. Champ Bailey
You can find the entire list here.
Although he was out for the 2020 Season, his strong 2019 brought Miller to the top five, up from his previous #6 rank.
Wide Receiver, Emmanuel Sanders, who is no longer with the club, debuts at #50.
We welcome your input and comments and as always, we thank you for your support.
The St. Louis Cardinals Hall of Fame announced that former MVP, Keith Hernandez won the fan vote and will be the next member of their institution.
Hernandez beat out Steve Carlton, Lee Smith, Matt Morris and Edgar Renteria to earn this honor.
With St. Louis, Hernandez was a two-time All-Star, one-time Silver Slugger and six-time Gold Glove winner, and he co-won the 1979 MVP with Willie Stargell of Pittsburgh. The First Baseman won the Batting Title (.344) that year, and was also the National League leader in Runs (116) and Doubles (48). Hernandez was also a key part of St. Louis’ World Series win in 1982, though that was his last full year with the Cardinals, as he was traded during the 1983 season to the New York Mets.
As a Cardinal, Hernandez collected 1,217 Hits with a Slash Line of .299/.385/.448.
Hernandez will be officially inducted on June 28, fittingly when the Cards host the Mets.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate Keith Hernandez for earning this honor.
C.J. Anderson had a tough road to make the NFL. Undrafted out of California, the Denver Broncos signed the Running Back, but he tore his MCL in training camp. He rehabbed that injury and managed to play in five Games that year, and was involved in Denver’s Super Bowl loss to Seattle.
Anderson moved up the depth chart in 2014 and was a Pro Bowl with 1,173 Yards From Scrimmage. He had another excellent year in 2015, which was punctuated with a Super Bowl 50 win, where Anderson had 100 All-Purpose Yards. Injuries bothered him in 2016, but he had his first and only 1,000-yard year (1,007) in 2017, his last in Denver.
After signing with the Carolina Panthers, he plummeted down the roster and was released to be signed by Oakland, who also let him go shortly after. He finished the year with the Los Angeles Rams, and after two games in 2019 with Detroit, he retired with 4,397 Yards From Scrimmage and 27 Touchdowns.
A Second Team All-Sun Belt Selection from Troy at Safety, Brynden Trawick played Safety at college but was a backup in that capacity in the NFL. Trawick found a role on Special Teams where he was a Pro Bowler in 2017 as a Tennessee Titan. He also played for Baltimore and Oakland over a seven-season career.
