Karl Mecklenburg - Denver

Karl Mecklenburg rose from a college walk-on and twelfth round draft choice to an NFL career that included three Super Bowl and six Pro Bowl appearances. The former Bronco’s captain spent his entire twelve year career in Denver and makes Colorado his home now. Mecklenburg was arguably the most versatile player in the NFL playing all seven defensive front positions often in the course of a single game. Karl was selected as the AFC Linebacker of the Year, AFC player of the Year, and since retiring has been enshrined in the Denver broncos Ring of Fame and the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame.

As a member of the National Speakers Association, Karl is an author and motivational speaker inspiring positive change in teams and individuals. Through the Karl Mecklenburg REACH Foundation, Karl and his wife Kathi continue their charitable commitment to the children of Colorado.
