Tom Graham, a former Broncos linebacker drafted by the team in 1972, passed away Tuesday in Denver after complications from brain cancer. He was 67.
A standout linebacker at Oregon, Graham became the Ducks’ all-time leading tackler (433), which included a single-season record of 206 tackles in 1969. Graham was inducted into the school’s hall of fame in 2001 and drafted by the Broncos in the fourth round of the 1972 draft.
He spent the first two-and-a-half years of his seven-year NFL career in Denver (1972-74) before moving on to play with the Chiefs (1974), Chargers (1975-77) and Bills (1978).
