Former Ohio State linebacker Randy Gradishar has been named a finalist for the 2024 Pro Football Hall of Fame class by the Seniors Committee.
As a senior finalist, Gradishar will be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame if he receives approval for 80% or more of the full Selection Committee during its selection meeting early next year.
Woody Hayes, who had his share of great linebackers in Columbus, called him the “best linebacker I've ever coached.” Gradishar served as the centerpiece of the Broncos'"Orange Crush" defense, helping the team make Super Bowl XII in 1977. Gradishar followed that year up with a selection as both the AP and UPI Defensive Player of the Year for 1978. He made seven Pro Bowls and was a two-time first-team All-Pro.
"There are quite a few scouts who will tell you that former Broncos ILB Randy Gradishar was almost as good, even as good, as Jack Lambert," Buchsbaum wrote."Unlike Lambert, Gradishar was not a flashy headhunter, just a great anticipator who was a deadly tackler and great short-yardage defender."
