One of the three is the NFL's 1978 Defensive Player of the Year and @Broncos legend Randy Gradishar.

Still not 100% but this has been his best chance so far.

Seems like he should be when you compare him to the others. I never got to see Gradishar play but I think he is the most talked about Bronco prior to me being born. I really hope he gets in for the older folks that loved him. I feel like since I was 16 years old and started posting with guys like Mingo, Iron Jaw and many others I have been hearing about how he has been snubbed of the Hall. Let's get it done!!! Let's put an end to this debate and move on.

Long overdue SS son is thrilled by this

Not only an injustice to Gradishar, but if elected Gradishar will be the 1st Orange Crush member to get into the HOF. Tom Jackson is next.

Glad he is finally getting the recognition that he deserves. I've seen some stats that just show how crazy it is that he isn't in. Every player that has won DPOY, been to 7 Pro Bowls, and had 5 1st or 2nd team All-Pro is in the HOF except for Gradishar.

The other big one is that every team that has made the Super Bowl or won the Super Bowl has at least one player in the HOF (obviously most recent ones this isn't the case) from that team. That is except the 77 Broncos. So seeing that finally changed is good to see.

If there is a football God, Gradishar should be the first of a parade of Orange Crush HOFers.
