I just got done watching Randy’s last home game. Which happened to be Elways 1st 4th quarter comeback being down 19-0 in the fourth quarter to the colts.... and this shows up 😀👍
I don’t think there are any undeserving Broncos in Canton.... but for my money, Elway is the only Broncos Hall of Famer who deserved it more than Randy Gradishar. It is a disgrace that the Orange Crush has been totally ignored...

Totally agree. I have his jersey and can’t understand what reason they have for not letting him in. HOF voting is very head scratching at times. I really hope it is not another Ken Stabler situation where he gets in after he passes away when he should have got in years before.
Hall of fame has snubed this man for decades they need to let him in before he dies he has everything you need to get in to the hall of fame why is he not in he deserves to get his gold jacket while hes alive
I see each new class year after year...while I'm very glad 8-9 Bronco players and Pat Bowlen have been enshrined and deservedly so, since John Elway was the 1st in 2004 ,but for Randy Gradishar to have been watching this long is a JOKE....Makes me often wonder what TF,do these so called geniuses on the committee are looking at. Sunday afternoons for me in the late 70s before cable and the nfl network and social media,listening to 5he great Bob Martin call the games on KOA,was something special especially with Orange Crush in their prime. In the 1st 16 game schedule in 78 Steel Curtain gave up 195,Orange Crush 198. Steel Curtain,Doomsday,Purple people eaters,have several players enshrined and deservedly so,but the OC,was on the same level as any of those Defenses.
Randy Gradishar was top 5 inside linebacker of all time Randy not in the Hall of Fame is a total travesty, Randy was transcending he could play in today's game
Averaged 200 tackles a year. No other player in history is even close. Crime he's not in the HOF!
Very true!
200 tackles a year is hard to accomplish, but doing that every year? Truly insane
My favorite player as a kid
He was one of my idols at middle linebacker,him and Willie Lanier and Jim Leclair of the Cincinnati Bengals

Class act and community asset, Randy had over 2000 tackles and belongs in the HOF!
He earned it for sure!!! He definitely did!!
Him , Tom nalen n Dennis Smith all should be in HOF
I agree 😏💯
Yes indeed buddy
Yes to all 3.
Finally, hopefully, the HOF is going to vote him in! Longgg overdue!!
Gradishar led the best run defense in the nfl when teams often ran the ball a lot, only 5 touchdowns on the ground given up all year in 1977

Not one member of the Broncos from the Orange Crush years is in the HOF. Incredible. If anyone deserves the honor, Gradishar is the man.
Tom jackson, and lyle alzado were good, but gradishar was something else. He was excellent. He was the best Linebacker ever
Louis Wright should be in the HOF. When he played he was the best corner in the NFL. Other teams would never throw his way.

Agree. Very worried that it will be another Ken Stabler situation where he gets in after he passes away and that would be sad. :(

He has over 2,000 career tackles, something guys like Jack lambert and Ray Lewis have
Watching this after he got selected to be inducted today❤
Not a Broncos fan but im still trying to wrap my head around why he isnt in Canton. Whats the reasoning behind his snubbing.
I’m sorry but the I can’t hear them talking 😂😂
Audio quality was pretty poor! 😖
I always thought he was better than Ham and lambert. But every player from steelers automatically got in the hall even if they weren't all that great.
An abomination Randy is not in the HOF
