Denver Broncos Ring of Fame defensive end Richard Jackson was honored this week, but it was not a tribute that is likely to get a lot of publicity.
Nevertheless, it is a legit honor and should be recognized as such.
In the January/February edition of "The Coffin Corner," the official publication of The Professional Football Researchers Association, the group announced their Hall of Very Good Class of 2015, and Jackson is included in that group.
The other 2015 enshrinees are Alan Ameche (Baltimore Colts fullback), Rick Casares (also a fullback, for Chicago, Washington and Miami), Bill Forester (Green Bay linebacker), Chuck Knox (former head coach for the Rams, Bills and Seahawks), Ted Nesser (lineman and head coach, Columbus Panhandles) and Gene Washington (wide receiver for San Francisco and Detroit).
