BOULDER — To this day, former Colorado Buffalo and Denver Bronco punter Tom Rouen still leaves the same message when he contacts former teammate Alfred Williams:
“I always say, ‘From your national champion and Super Bowl champion brother,’” Rouen said this week. “It’s a pretty good club.”
Indeed, Rouen and Williams are among a rare group: teammates who won national championships in college (1990 season with Colorado), then went on to win Super Bowl rings in the NFL (1997 and ‘98 seasons with the Broncos). The Broncos beat Green Bay, 31-24, in Super Bowl XXXII; then returned a year later to beat the Falcons in XXXIII, 34-19.
