On this episode of The Other Tom Green Show, Tom sits down with Broncos Ring of Famer Karl Mecklenburg — one of the most versatile defenders in NFL history — to talk about leadership, culture, and what it takes to build a champion. Mecklenburg opens up about his early years in Denver under Pat Bowlen, Joe Collier, and Dan Reeves, the transition from the Orange Crush era to the Super Bowl teams of the ’80s, and how those experiences shaped his life after football. He shares how Patrick Roy’s leadership moment inspired him, what he learned from Tony Dungy and Mike Shanahan, and why the current Broncos defense led by Nik Bonitto reminds him of his own. From battling through injuries and playing every position in the front seven to reflecting on his Hall of Fame candidacy and the bonds that still unite Broncos Country, Mecklenburg brings insight, humility, and humor — including stories about Wade Phillips, Dennis Smith, and even a $70,000 highlight reel of hits that “would all be penalties today.”
