The Denver Broncos recently elected two new members to their Ring of Fame: former tight end Riley Odoms and defensive back Steve Foley. This marks the first addition to the Ring of Fame in years, with Peyton Manning being the last player inducted in 2021. Odoms and Foley will now join 35 other former players, coaches, and administrators on the Empower Field at Mile High Ring of Fame facade.
In an interview with Mike Klis of 9News, Odoms expressed his excitement about being elected to the Ring of Fame. He mentioned that though the journey may not have been straightforward, he is thrilled to have reached this milestone. On the other hand, Foley has held the Broncos’ record for interceptions since 1986, when he made the final two of his 44 career interceptions.
Odoms is notable for being one of only 13 Broncos twice selected first-team All-Pro. Throughout his career, he totaled 396 receptions for 5,755 yards and 41 touchdowns, ranking third in receiving yards by a tight end in NFL history at the time of his retirement. He still holds the franchise record for the most consecutive games (seven) with a touchdown catch and ranks seventh in franchise history in receiving yards.
