Greek-American Dean Metropoulos Part of Group Interested in Denver Broncos Purchase - The National Herald The power of positive thinking got the Broncos out of the basement once. Not because he might be the link between the Broncos and Aaron Rodgers, but because he truly believes in his people and the team. If ever there was such a man to fill those shoes, it’s Nathaniel Hackett. I’ve said in previous articles that the Denver Broncos needed a John Ralston-type Messiah to come deliver them from the desert of losing and anguish. Simply put, players will listen to him because he treats them like important people in his life. It’s his positive outlook on life and genuine appreciation for his players that make him successful. And he loved to walk into a room and light the place up.Īccording to my Green Bay Packers blogger friend, Hackett is able to connect with players on a whole other level because of his love of music, movement, and people in general. But, more than anything, he loved to laugh. To this day, he coaches his daughter, also a prospective dancer who has already appeared in music videos, proudly donning his “Dance Dad” shirt at every showcase and competition. Nathaniel was also an avid hip-hop dancer, teaching classes throughout college and continuing to take lessons into his late 20s. While he doesn’t have the Dale Carnegie training that Ralston did, he has the same drive to apply what he learned elsewhere to how he interacts with players and the world. His is the type of energy that turned the Denver Broncos around once, and I believe that energy can do it again. Hackett represents so much more than new blood on the sideline.

Looking at videos of him interacting with players is absolutely reminiscent of those grainy films of Ralston slapping butts inside the huddle.
