It’s possible the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2023 could be three Broncos richer by next February.
Not likely, but it is possible.
And at the center of that hopeful proposition is none other than Randy Gradishar, Denver’s All-Pro inside linebacker and anchor of the famed Orange Crush defense of the 70s and 80s under Joe Collier.
Gradishar, a monster tackler and best there was at finding the ball carrier in the trenches, earned Defensive Player of the Year in 1978.
The two-time, first team All Pro and seven-time Pro Bowler has been a finalist three times, most recently in 2020 for the HOF Centennial Slate.
