Bowlen family bestows honor upon Broncos' trainer Steve Antonopulos.
Steve"Greek" Antonopulos is being honored for his 45 years of service to the Denver Broncos. Former Broncos great WR Lionel Taylor also honored as assistant coach.There are also people behind the scenes who make it so the players and head coaches can get all the glory on Sunday.
“It means more to those guys who put up with me,'' Taylor said from his home outside Albuquerque in an interview with 9NEWS."The only way I got this was their hard work. And I give the guys that I coached as much as those who really made it. Some guys made it not as big. But just getting to the NFL tells those guys they had some talent. They don’t have to sell themselves short.”
The Awards of Excellence program was created to recognize significant contributors to the game off the field. The categories for this year's recipients were assistant coaches, athletic trainers, equipment managers, film/video directors and public relations personnel, according to a release. In 2021, the Broncos named the training room at Centura Health Training Center the Steve"Greek" Antonopulos Athletic Training Room. The Award of Excellence winners will be honored in ceremonies June 26-27 in Canton, Ohio.
After his NFL coaching career, Taylor would coach college prospects for two months before the draft at the IMG Academy in Florida. His offseason clientele list included the likes of Eli Manning, Chad Pennington, LaDainian Tomlinson, Adrian Peterson, Anquan Boldin and the Bears' Anthony Thomas.
