Karl Mecklenburg

Biography

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. Mecklenburg was arguably the most versatile player in the NFL playing all seven defensive front positions, sometimes 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 has been a Pro Football Hall of Fame Semifinalist eight times.

Karl's NFL experience left him with keys to success that apply to team situations: your business, your association, your charity, your family, and your community. 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.

It was clearly demonstrated that you took the time to do your research about our organization and to prepare your presentation. It was refreshing to hear such a customized and targeted talk . . . The talk was exactly what I had in mind.

I am writing to thank you for participating in the 2009-2010 Galaxy Series at Chadron State College. Your message on the "Six Keys to Success" tied directly into several events that we had on campus. Your two presentations were outstanding.

From arrival and for the next few days of our conference and activities, I noticed Karl always within the crowds enjoying his time meeting our members and attendees. I could see a constantly changing group of people around Karl taking photos and selfies that included a lot of smiles, stories, and laughter. Karl's humility and friendly nature left no one feeling left out. I would highly recommend Karl Mecklenburg to anyone who may be looking for an exciting and engaging speaker for their event
