Tom Jackson will present Randy Gradishar at Hall of Fame induction
rest - https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl...on/ar-BB1i3vpCNew Hall of Famer Randy Gradishar has asked former teammate Tom Jackson to present him for induction at this summer's enshrinement ceremony in Canton.
Gradishar and Jackson were both linebackers who played their entire careers with the Broncos, Gradishar from 1974 to 1983 and Jackson from 1973 to 1986.
"Tommy’s a great guy. We're great friends. I asked him . . . a few weeks ago if he would do that presentation for me back in Canton," Gradishar told the Broncos' website.
Jackson is a member of the Broncos' Ring of Fame. He's not in the Pro Football Hall of Fame as a player, but he did receive the Hall of Fame's Pete Rozelle Radio-Television Award, considered the most prestigious recognition for a pro football broadcaster. Jackson worked side-by-side with Chris Berman on NFL Primetime from 1987 to 2016.

Bump for one of my all-time favorite Broncos

If Gradishar had the same career for the Steealers or Giants he would’ve been a first ballot HoFer, Louis Wright too, it’s people like Paul Zimmerman, who had a bias large enough to choke a horse, that have kept this from happening.
Good riddance. Sorry, not sorry.
