The path has finally opened for Randy Gradishar. Now, that needs to happen for a few others.
Since some time has passed since the announcement that Grardishar is headed to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, the hope is this opens the opportunity to some more deserving Denver Broncos.
Namely, Gradishar’s teammate on the Orange Crush defense, Louis Wright. The original shutdown cornerback in the NFL and one of the best to ever play the position. Wright is deserving of a look by the Seniors Committee.
Another is Tom Jackson. He was the voice of that iconic defense and a helluva linebacker, but also what he did for the game on ESPN with Chris Berman.
