Broncos' legend Tom Jackson says 2015 defense 'more impressive' than his Orange Crush

And he should know.

You have to know this Broncos defense is something special when former linebacker and Ring-of-Fame inductee Tom Jackson is calling it better than his own iconic Orange Crush D.

"I'm more impressed with them than I was with that Orange Crush of the past because defense has been made so difficult now," the three-time Pro-Bowler and current ESPN analyst told the Denver Post.

"We had the ability to jam all over the field, and it really didn't matter how you hit somebody — you didn't have to be careful about it, you didn't have to think about contact," Jackson added.
