Former safety Steve Foley (1976-1986) and tight end Riley Odoms (1972-1983) have been elected to the Denver Broncos Ring of Fame. The team made the announcement on Thursday following its annual Ring of Fame selection meeting this week.
The former players will be inducted into the Ring of Fame at halftime of the Broncos' game against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, Oct. 6, at Empower Field at Mile High. Kick off for the Alumni Game is at 2:05 p.m. which also includes recognition of 2024 Pro Football Hall of Fame linebacker Randy Gradishar and a reunion of the team's first Super Bowl team from 1977 that included Foley and Odoms.
"Steve Foley and Riley Odoms represent the best of the Broncos, and we're thrilled they will now take their long-awaited places in the Ring of Fame. Each has individually made history by setting records and high standards while playing integral roles in team success. It's fitting to honor Steve and Riley in a year of extraordinary celebrations that include Randy Gradishar's Pro Football Hall of Fame election and the rest of our first Super Bowl team from 1977," said Broncos owners Greg Penner and Carrie Walton Penner in a statement.
