The first rounder from Arkansas was the runner-up for the Defensive Rookie of the Year Award, and he helped bring the Broncos to the Super Bowl. Atwater's already strong game would improve, and he was chosen for seven consecutive Pro Bowls (1990-96) with a pair of them being deemed worthy for a First Team All-Pro Selection. As the decade was reaching its end, Atwater and the Broncos would win two straight Super Bowls (XXXII and XXXIII) with the first one considered to be Atwater's last real hurrah as a superstar where he had six tackles, a sack, and a forced fumble.
The Broncos chose Atwater for their Ring of Fame in 2007, and in 2020, he recieved the call to enter the hallowed halls of Canton.
