The MHR countdown of the 50 greatest Denver Broncos has reached the top 5. Randy Gradishar was the captain of the Orange Crush Defense, and was the greatest defensive player in team history for a long time.
When it gets to be this point in the series, you know you are going to get some of the greatest of all time. In this case, number 5 on the list is not just getting his due from us. The Pro Football Hall of Fame is finally including him.
Like Steve Atwater, whom I had the honor to write about, Gradishar is being inducted into the Hall of Fame after years of neglect.
