ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — The Bowlen family has selected longtime Broncos employee Steve "Greek" Antonopulos to serve as Owner Pat Bowlen's presenter when he is enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in August.

Antonopulos is the only employee to work full-time at the Broncos’ training facility during Bowlen’s 35-year tenure as owner, and he set to begin his 44th season with the team.

“I was overwhelmed with emotion when I was asked to be Mr. Bowlen’s presenter,” Antonopulos said. “I feel very honored and very humbled. It’s one of the greatest things I’ve ever been asked to do in my life.

“If you really look at it, it’s all about Mr. Bowlen. We developed a really neat relationship over all the years that he’s been here. It’s certainly unique — he’s not only my boss but he’s my friend. That’s what makes it even more of an honor to do this, especially with the request coming from the family.”

DENVER — Several years ago, Broncos longtime athletic trainer Steve Antonopulos sat back in his chair at UCHealth Center, fighting back tears.

He was telling the story of Pat Bowlen, the man and their friendship. The year was 1984. Bowlen was hurting. Against advice, he decided to ride his bike from the team’s old headquarters on 5700 Logan Street in Denver to the team’s training camp in Greeley. Bowlen was an Iron Man participant, so why not mix training with football? Greek listened as Bowlen described the pain in his broken collarbone.

The injury resonated with Antonopulos. He had treated countless injured players. But an owner this driven? The moment forever stuck with him.

“I asked him, ‘What did you do?’ And here he was mad he got hurt because it could affect his training. I will always remember his competitiveness. He wanted to be the best at everything he did. I mean, just look at this place,” Antonopulos said, glancing at the Broncos’ plush headquarters. “None of this is possible without him. None of it. ”
