KL077 Karl Mecklenburg NFL All-Pro, Former Denver Bronco #77, Leadership Expert C's of Leadership Episode Summary For Episode 77 of the Keep Leading!® podcast, I sat down with retired Denver Broncos Football player Karl Mecklenburg! Karl, who wore #77, was an NFL All-Pro Player who is now a Leadership Expert and Keynote Speaker. He shared his C’s of Leadership methodology with me. Bio 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. This 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 from the NFL has been enshrined in the Denver Broncos Ring of Fame and the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame. Mecklenburg was a Pro Football Hall of Fame Semifinalist for eight consecutive years. Mecklenburg is the only NFL legend to have earned the Certified Speaking Professional designation from the National Speakers Association. As an author and speaker Mecklenburg’s stories of teamwork and leadership are humorous and inspiring. He approaches his speaking career with the same intelligence, passion, and intensity that punctuated his great football career.
