    Rod exemplifies everything most of today's athletes aren't. First and foremost, he's a humble human being! Secondly, he is willing to do the dirty work & make others around him better. Whether he gets into the HOF or not, he's in my HOF & Broncos country's HOF!!!

    If it's anybody that deserves a Hall of Fame award, it's this man (Mr. Rod Smith). I know him personally he's very hardworking, he rarely takes any breaks, VERY HUMBLE, he's the only retired football player I am a big fan of, on top of that, WHEN HE HAS TIME, He takes time out to write his fans back..... The brother is real, full of love, very funny intelligent brother. So please give him his props... cuz he earned EVERY LAST BIT OF IT

    Wow, you guys did amazing in this documentary! Quality was amazing and I'm so happy you honored Rod this way. He is what defines a Bronco and has made Denver proud and blessed for many years. Happy he is getting the credit he deserves. A gold jacket is worthy IMO if you really look and all that he contributed to the game. Not just receiver stats but blocking, returning, leading ect. Loved this!

    Hopefully they give him a chance on the seniors committee he was the epitome of a steady producer and consistent professional. Great hands, blocker with physicality and a stout route runner who could take it in the back of the endzone or take one across the middle in traffic. Undoubtedly the best undrafted receiver ever. No question in my mind.

    Rod Smith’s career and character are enough to merit being in the Hall of Fame alone. The supporting factors should include that he is in the Broncos Ring of Fame, which acknowledges the best players of that franchise, an elite category it’s self. Also, the fact that he is the most successful undrafted free agent at his position to have accomplished what he has in the NFL is incredibly inspiring…
    Kurt Warner is in the HoF, and Rod Smith’s story and achievements are just as remarkable…
