Description
No more waiting, Randy Gradishar. No more election disappointment.
The star linebacker from the Denver Broncos’ famed Orange Crush defense has been officially elected into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, it was announced Thursday during the NFL Honors program.
Gradishar had to wait 35 years since he first became eligible for Hall of Fame election. A long time. But now that he’s in, he’s in forever. And forever is a lot longer than 35 years.
“I’ve been waiting a while,’’ Gradishar said in an interview Thursday night with 9NEWS after his election was announced. “Never knew, never dreamed of even playing with the Denver Broncos and being a pro athlete and coming from Ohio State and all the sudden you’re drafted into the NFL, I never dreamed about any of that. And then for the last number of years being considered for this Pro Football Hall of Fame."
Broncos' public relations boss Patrick Smyth came up with a creative plan to inform Gradishar of his HOF election.
