Tom Jackson was a 4^th Round Pick from Louisville and considering he spent 14 seasons at Mile High this was undoubtedly a high-value selection.  Jackson started 177 of the 191 Games he played at Linebacker, and he was the soul of the famed Orange Crush defense that reversed the fortunes of Denver and brought them to their first Super Bowl appearance in the 1977 season.  That year Jackson went to his first of three straight Pro Bowls, and in ‘77 he was also a First Team All-Pro.  He was still with the team when they reached their second Super Bowl, making him one of only four players to be in the first two for the team.
