Former Broncos linebacker and current ESPN analyst Tom Jackson was named the 2015 winner of the Pete Rozelle Radio-Television Award for his “longtime exceptional contributions to radio and television in professional football.” Jackson will be recognized during the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s 2015 enshrinement ceremony on Aug. 8.
Jackson, a Cleveland, Ohio, native, joined ESPN in 1987 following a 14-year NFL career with the Broncos. In 2009, he won a Sports Emmy in the Outstanding Studio Analyst category and, for more than 25 years, has teamed with Chris Berman on ESPN’s “Sunday NFL Countdown.”
Jackson began his broadcast career where his NFL career ended: in Denver.
