    John Elway -2004 H.O.F.

    “I don’t know if I like being the sentimental favorite,” John Elway told reporters prior to Super Bowl XXXII. “There are a lot of people who might not get another chance to win a Super Bowl, not just me.” By the end of what many observers have called the greatest Super Bowl game ever played, thousands of fans in San Diego’s Qualcomm Stadium were chanting “Elway, Elway, Elway.” ...more

    Welcoming Committee: John Elway

    By Ronnie Lott, Class of 2000
    Ronnie Lott faced John Elway eight times - three times as a member of the 49ers and Raiders, and twice while with the Jets - during his Hall of Fame career. With the exception of San Francisco's win in Super Bowl XXIV, each game was decided by close margins. Lott experienced first-hand three of Elway's famous fourth-quarter magical comebacks.

    I remember the first time I played you in college. I remember thinking whenever I played you that you were one of the all-time great competitors and one of the all-time great athletes.

    As we competed in the NFL, I recall that every time I played against you, we could never say the game is over. The reason why was that your athletic skills, your ability to make plays on the run, your ability to be creative, and your ability to believe in yourself. You always thought that you could win the game. And that really elevated other people around you. That's what made John Elway great - it wasn't what you did but how you made others rise to the occasion.

      Elway's daughter will pass it to dad

      Jessie, 18, will give Hall introduction
      In the past week, she's recited her speech in the car. In the house. About five times a day and pretty much anywhere she can.

      The 18-year-old doesn't care if people think she's talking to herself because, for three minutes Sunday in Canton, Ohio, the nation will get to know her dad through her own words.

        Driven to fame: Elway's quest to be the best puts him among legends in Canton

        There might have been early debate about whether John Elway would achieve greatness, but never a question about his pursuit.

        From Elway's high school days in Granada Hills, Calif., when he first put his slingshot arm on display, and throughout his distinguished college career at Stanford University, he strived to someday be considered the best quarterback ever to strap on shoulder pads.

        That ambition was his driving force - part of lofty expectations that spoke to his competitive zeal and inner faith in his prodigious talent. And he never wavered from that chase once he turned pro with the Denver Broncos.
