[Mile High Moments] Happy Birthday, no. 77 Karl Mecklenburg! The Denver Broncos drafted Mecklenburg in the 1983 12th round. He was a Denver Bronco LB and masterful jack-of-all trades defender for 12 seasons! Meck is a 4× 1st-team All-Pro, 1× 2nd-team All-Pro, 6× Pro Bowler, and Ring of Famer!

2. He was in the same draft as Elway? Damn, Denver killed it in the ’83 draft ( I know, Elway wasn’t drafted by Denver but they got him!)

3. Favorite Bronco of all time and a class act! Still have his Starting Lineup figure on my desk along with other No. 77 stuff from when I was a kid.

4. I remember back in the day when 77 had a big play the Jumbotron would flash the words and the whole crowd would say “Wrecklenburg” in a long drawn out deep voice.
