Pat Bowlen selected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame - The Denver Post

ATLANTA – Already a three-time Super Bowl champion, Broncos owner Pat Bowlen added a new line to his resume here Saturday.

Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee.

Five-plus months after being named a finalist in the Contributor’s category, Bowlen earned at least 80 percent of the votes from the 48-member selection committee to be a part of the Class of 2019 according to a league source.

Bowlen, 74, will become the 16th team owner and only the second current owner (Dallas’ Jerry Jones) to be inducted. The 2019 induction ceremony will be this summer in Canton, Ohio.

Two of Bowlen’s daughters, Beth Bowlen Wallace and Brittany Bowlen, represented the family at Friday’s Merlin Olsen Super Bowl Luncheon, but more family members and Broncos officials were expected to join the celebration later today.

Bowlen is limited to his Denver area home because of Alzheimer’s that forced him to step down from running the Broncos in 2014.

Bowlen bought the Broncos in 1984 and became the most successful pro sports owner in Colorado history. During his tenure, the Broncos have reached the playoffs 18 times, won 13 division titles and won three of seven Super Bowl appearances.
