"Guys that I've looked up to throughout my career, getting to know these guys, it really is a classy group of guys, and I'm not sure I belong there," Nalen told the crowd according to the Denver Post.

Nalen graduated from Foxboro High School and attended Boston College. He was drafted by the Denver Broncos in 1994 where he won two Super Bowls, was named to the All-Pro team three times, and was selected for the Pro Bowl five times. He was also named to the Broncos’ 50th Anniversary Team in 2009.
