Gradishar, McMichael and Powell were announced Wednesday as the three senior candidates for next year’s Hall of Fame class from a list of 12 semifinalists. They will get into the Hall if they are supported by at least 80% of voters next January.
While the Broncos fell one game short of winning it all in 1977 when they allowed only 10.6 points per game, McMichael was part of an even more dominant defense that won the Super Bowl in the 1985 season. McMichael had 95 career sacks as a defensive tackle, was selected as an All-Pro in 1985 and '87 and was second-teamer two other times.
He led the AFL with 1,130 yards receiving for the New York Titans in 1962 and then again the following year for the Raiders with 1,304 yards when he also had a league-leading 16 TD catches. He boycotted a preseason game for New York in 1961 on the same grounds and was set to do the same for the Raiders in 1963 before Davis refused to allow the Raiders to play in Alabama and moved the game to Oakland.
