broncos. terrell davis, john lynch, and steve atwater hoping to get the call from the hall, but not one of them did. breath -- brett favre, and ken stabler were the winners. >> reporter: it wasn't that bad of a day for the broncos, because terrell davis and john lynch got into the second five they got into the top 10, and that's significant, because of the five guys, five modern era candidates who got in this year, four of them were in the second five last year, that's harrison, kevin green, tony dungy, and orlando pace. they finished 6 through 10th 10th last year, and they get in this year. that's how the process works. it's about being patient, it's such a backlog of great start. how are you going to kick out of this class? so terrell davis, for the first time, john lynch for the first time get inside that second five, and so i think their chances will be great next year. also, rod, the contributor category, there's going to be two candidates from the contributor category, and there's going to be a lot of momentum for pat mullen to get one of those two spots. so i think it's very possible tha
