NSA Colorado Members reflect a diverse cross-section of expertise & experience. One of the chapter’s professional members distinguishes himself on the platform these days, but distinguished himself on the field of play for many years as a member of the NFL’s Denver Broncos. Karl Mecklenburg was a defensive standout for the team for more than a decade, and is one of only 20 ex-Broncos to be honored with a spot in the team’s Ring of Fame. This photo shows Karl (brown leather jacket, just to left of center) returning from the coin flip before 2010’s home game with the Kansas City Chiefs after he served as a ceremonial captain. Karl’s an inspiration from the platform, and apparently still an inspiration on the field as Denver beat Kansas City 49-29 that day!
