A half-dozen former Denver Broncos players are candidates for the College Football Hall of Fame’s 2026 class.
The list is headlined by former defensive lineman Elvis Dumervil, who was named a unanimous first-team All-American and won the Nagurski Trophy after leading the nation with 20 sacks in 2005. Dumervil went on to play for the Broncos from 2006-2012, totaling 63.5 sacks (eighth-most in franchise history).
Also on the list of nominees are running back Reggie Rivers (who spent his six-year pro career in Denver), tight end Vernon Davis (who won Super Bowl 50 with the Broncos), cornerback Tyrone Poole (who played two seasons in Denver), pass rusher Simeon Rice (who had a brief late-career stint with the Broncos) and running back Garrison Hearst (who finished his career in Denver).
