WATCH: Broncos great Randy Gradishar receives Hall of Fame jacket

The anticipation continues to build for former Denver Broncos linebacker Randy Gradishar until his official enshrinement into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in August.

One of the most important pieces prior to Enshrinement Week has fallen into place, as Gradishar has received his famous gold jacket, made by Haggar Co.

When Gradishar opened his jacket box and read the inscription inside, his excitement was clear.

Gradishar took his jacket out of the box, he immediately wanted to try it on, before looking on the inside. He exclaimed, “My name’s on it! My name’s in here!”

After several excruciating years of being snubbed by the Hall of Fame Senior Committee, Gradishar was finally selected for induction into the Hall of Fame in February.

Following his election into the Hall of Fame, Gradishar was part of several large events, both personally and with the Denver franchise. May 3rd was declared “Randy Gradishar Day” by Colorado Governor Jared Polis and Gradishar was a focal point in helping unveil the Broncos’ new throwback jerseys in April.

The Pro Football Hall of Fame Enshrinement Week begins Aug. 1 and continues through Aug. 4.
