Denver Native (Carol)

There will be two versions of John Fox today — the public figure, and the head football coach.
Fox, the Broncos' new head coach, made his Denver community debut Tuesday morning when he delivered the keynote speech to more than 1,000 business leaders at the Boy Scouts of America annual sports breakfast at the Pepsi Center.
He admitted it was an arena in which he wasn't exactly at ease, though that was hardly evident in his speech, in which he introduced himself by talking about his family and football background. He also promised that the Broncos would "win games" and spoke about the need for the Broncos to draft an impact player with their top pick, No. 2 overall, much like the Carolina Panthers did when they selected Julius Peppers at No. 2 in Fox's first year in Carolina.
"Public speaking is not one of my favorite things to do, but in this case, I think it's a wonderful thing to do," Fox said.
After his speech, Fox left the breakfast at around 8:45 a.m. and headed for the airport, where he, John Elway and Brian Xanders boarded a plane bound for Auburn's Pro Day in Alabama
