Steve Atwater was a tremendous hitter, an instinctive safety and a true team leader on defense for the Denver Broncos. He was an eight-time Pro Bowl selection, a two-time Super Bowl champion and is knocking on the door to the Hall of Fame.
The legendary safety took time out with Joe Everett of NFL Draft Bible to talk about his career for the Broncos, his NFL Draft experience and what it was like to win the Super Bowl twice for the city of Denver.
