"Demaryius inspired our fans with breathtaking athleticism, record-setting performances and a joyful, infectious spirit," the Penners said.

The Denver Broncos will honor the contributions of former Pro Bowl receiver Demaryius Thomas during the 2025 season. The team announced Tuesday that Thomas will be posthumously inducted into its Ring of Fame during halftime of the Week 7 matchup against the New York Giants.

Thomas joins an illustrious list of former Broncos to be elected in their first year of eligibility. The others: Quarterbacks John Elway and Peyton Manning, wide receiver Rod Smith, center Tom Nalen, tight end Shannon Sharpe, cornerback Champ Bailey, safety Steve Atwarter and linebackers Randy Gradishar and Tom Jackson.
