Coming out of high school, Steve Atwater was a quarterback. He switched to safety at Arkansas, and that move paid off in huge ways.
Atwater became a first-round NFL Draft pick and, on Saturday, it was revealed that he’d be in the latest Pro Football Hall of Fame class.
The former Razorback is part of a class that includes Isaac Bruce, Edgerrin James and others:
And congratulations to new Hall-of-Famer Steve Atwater, who played as good a game as any safety ever could when Denver won its first Super Bowl in January 1998.

Atwater won 2 Super Bowls with the Denver Broncos. He made the Pro Bowl a whopping 8 times, playing for the Broncos and New York Jets from 1989 to 1999.
Atwater recored an impressive 14 interceptions during his time with the Razorbacks.
