After the Pro Football Hall of Fame announced that their 2019 class included Broncos Owner Pat Bowlen and former cornerback Champ Bailey, many of their friends took to social media to congratulate them.

I’m so thrilled for Pat! For what he did for the Broncos and the league, he is the definition of a Hall of Famer.

Congrats to Champ - the very first of many deserving Broncos defensive players in the Pro Football Hall of Fame!

For Champ to get selected in his first year is proof of what a great career he had and what a great Bronco he is! https://t.co/KyhTBMhj3r
