Pat Bowlen and Champ Bailey named to Hall of Fame

Joining him will be two more first-time nominees, Champ Bailey and Ed Reed, along with another defensive back, Ty Law, and center Kevin Mawae; Law and Mawae were both in their third year as finalists.

The Minnesota Vikings have an awesome number of players who have been a part of their organization who have been enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame and that list will continue to grow as years go on.

Law's career spanned 15 seasons, with the New England Patriots, New York Jets, Chiefs and Broncos.

Bailey played ten seasons in Denver and five with the Washington Redskins eventually retiring as a Bronco in 2015.

Reed was one of four defensive backs who will be inducted on August 3 in Canton, Ohio. Eight years later, Bailey made his only Super Bowl. Denver has won three Super Bowls under his leadership. He blocked for Hall of Fame running back Curtis Martin in all of his seven 1,000-yard seasons with the Jets. He did it well, too, as the 2000s All-Decade Team member notched 54 career interceptions.
