Broncos have 21 candidates for 2025 Pro Football Hall of Fame class

Last week, Mike Shanahan and late former Denver Broncos coach Dan Reeves were named coach candidates for the 2025 Pro Football Hall of Fame class.

The Broncos also have 19 modern-era candidates for the Hall of Fame. Denver had 11 senior candidates as well, but none of them advanced in the selection process.

With the modern-era candidates still to be trimmed down, the Broncos currently have 21 candidates for next year’s Hall of Fame class.
