ATLANTA — [url=https://www.broncoslockerroom.com/authentic-noah-fant-jersey]Womens Noah Fant Jersey[/url] , this was a slam dunk.The 6-foot-5 Gonzalez, who turned the celebratory post-TD dunk over the crossbar into an art form, was voted into the Hall of Fame on Saturday.Joining him will be two more first-time nominees, Champ Bailey and Ed Reed, along with another defensive back, Ty Law, and center Kevin Mawae; Law and Mawae were both in their third year as finalists.The contributor nominees, Broncos owner Pat Bowlen and Cowboys and NFL executive Gil Brandt, each made it, as did senior Johnny Robinson, the defensive back who helped the Chiefs win Super Bowl 4.Gonzalez started in Kansas City and finished in Atlanta, where voters met on the eve of the Super Bowl to select the Class of 2019; they didn’t need much time to debate his worthiness.In short, Gonzalez had more than his fair share of chances to jam. (Maybe not by accident, the NFL banned the practice in 2014, the year after he retired.)The most prolific pass catcher at his position over a 17-year career, Gonzalez caught 1,325 passes (second in NFL history) for 15,127 yards (sixth) and 111 touchdowns. He was a six-time All-Pro, made 14 Pro Bowls, and his 916 catches with the Chiefs set one of 22 franchise records he held upon his retirement.He’ll be donning the yellow jacket this summer alongside three players who spent part of their careers trying to stop him.This marks the first time more than two defensive backs have made it in the same class.Bailey played 15 years — five with Washington, then 10 more with Denver after the Redskins swapped him for Clinton Portis. Like so many great cornerbacks, Bailey did not rewrite the record book, in part because he was, for a huge chunk of his career, considered the best cover guy in the league. So most quarterbacks simply avoided him.Still, he made three All-Pro teams, 12 Pro Bowls and a none-too-shabby 52 interceptions. His best-remembered pick was a 103-yard return against Tom Brady in the 2006 playoffs that did not go for a touchdown. Denver did score shortly afterward, though, on the way to the win. Eight years later, Bailey made his only Super Bowl.Reed won his only title in the 2012 season, his last with the Ravens. Running the defense from his safety position, he was a standout playmaker on a roster full of them — including Ray Lewis, Terrell Suggs and Peter Boulware. Reed finished his career with 64 interceptions, and led the league in picks three times.Law was a lot like Bailey, a rock at the corner who quarterbacks avoided. He finished with 53 interceptions and three Super Bowl rings, all with the Patriots. When New England beat the Rams for its first title in 2002, Law returned a pick 47 yards for a score that gave the Patriots the lead in the second quarter; they didn’t trail after that.Law was one of the many high-profile players Bill Belichick was willing to cycle out, and his final five years were spent with Kansas City, Denver and two stints with the Jets, including 2005, when he made a career-high 10 interceptions.Mawae, a second-round draft pick in 1994, played 16 seasons for the Seahawks [url=https://www.broncoslockerroom.com/authentic-dalton-risner-jersey]Dalton Risner Jersey[/url] , Jets and Titans. He made three All-Pro teams and joins Mike Webster, Dwight Stevenson and Jim Otto among the few true centers in Canton.Mawae earned a spot some thought might go instead to Jaguars left tackle Tony Boselli. But for Boselli, Edgerrin James, John Lynch, Richard Seymour and six others, it’s wait ’til next year.Bowlen goes in after what some believe was a longer-than-necessary wait. He is now suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, which has put the future of the Broncos’ franchise on uncertain ground. He was key in securing the NFL’s future via a number of multibillion-dollar TV contracts. The Broncos have largely prospered during his tenure, winning more than 60 percent of their games. That included the 1998 Super Bowl, when the owner famously shouted “This one’s for John” — a tribute to John Elway winning his first title.Brandt spent 29 years with the Cowboys, where his keen eye for talent helped turn Dallas into “America’s Team.” He chose eight future Hall of Famers, including Troy Aikman, Roger Staubach, Bob Lilly and Bob Hayes. He employed computers for evaluating talent and came up with psychological tests for draft prospects, two tools no NFL team could do without in the modern game.Brandt also was elected for his role as the NFL’s resident draft guru.Robinson was chosen by the Dallas Texans in the first AFL draft. The Texans became the Chiefs, and the Chiefs became Super Bowl champions. A teammate of his, Hall of Fame linebacker Willie Lanier, said Robinson was the key to a defense that helped Kansas City to two AFL titles, each of which landed the Chiefs in the Super Bowl.

Coincidentally, it just so happens that such a player has become available on the trade market. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Cincinnati Bengals are willing to move former first-round pick John Ross.After an impressive senior campaign with the Washington Huskies where he reeled in 76 receptions for 1,122 yards and 17 touchdowns, Ross took the 2017 NFL Combine by storm when he posted the fastest 40-yard dash in NFL history at 4.22 seconds — breaking a long-time record set by former running back Chris Johnson. Unfortunately, Ross’ all-world speed hasn’t translated into quality performance in his short career.Injury concerns were an issue for Ross into the 2017 NFL Draft, as he missed his entire junior year with the Huskies after suffering a torn ACL. Those concerns came to fruition early on in the pros when he missed 13 games of his rookie campaign due to a knee injury. Last year in thirteen games, he caught 21 passes for 210 yards. However, 7 of those 21 catches went for touchdowns. Consistency and availability have been a dark cloud that has hung over Ross, which makes it reasonable for the Bengals to attempt to move on from him.There are some fans and writers across Broncos Country who think the receiver is worth dishing out a late-round draft pick for, but I disagree. While there is no doubt the Broncos could benefit from a vertical threat in their receiving corps, I wouldn’t give up draft collateral to obtain him. The wide receiver class in the 2019 NFL Draft is deep and there are plenty of prospects who should be available who would fit that role. Penny Hart of Georgia State, David Sills of West Virginia, Terry McLaurin of Ohio State, Emmanuel Hall of Missouri and Terry Godwin of Georgia all fit the bill. While a few of them may very well sneak into the second day of the draft, I believe several will be available on the draft’s third day. Why not opt for another young receiver through the draft as opposed to trying to make the most out of a reclamation prospect in Ross?A fresh start is always nice, but that doesn’t mean Ross’ injury woes and penchant for dropping passes will change on a new team. The Broncos should absolutely obtain a speedy receiver this offseason, but Ross shouldn’t be that guy. As far as hypothetical moves go, I’ll slate this firmly in the ‘pass’ category.
