Gov. Jared Polis declared May 3 Randy Gradishar Day in honor of the Denver Broncos defensive great who was recently elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Randy Gradishar was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2024 in February and will become officially enshrined in Canton in August.
Gradishar will be joined by Polis, Denver Mayor Mike Johnston, Broncos Cheerleaders, Miles the Mascot and Stampede drumline at Friday's proclamation. Gradishar had to wait 35 years since he first became eligible for Hall of Fame election. A long time. Now that he’s in,. “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.
Gradishar was first eligible for the Hall of Fame in 1989 but only made it to the voter’s room as a top 15 modern-era finalist in 2003 and 2008, his final year of modern-era eligibility. At that point he was moved to the vast senior pool. Where the wait lengthened.
