Denver mayor was once the mascot for the Denver Broncos

DENVER, Jan. 31 (UPI) -- Denver Mayor Michael Hancock admits he was once the mascot for the Denver Broncos.

In the interview with CBS Denver, Hancock says he was the Huddles mascot for the Denver Broncos when he was a teen. "For a 17-year-old to get to be around his hometown heroes, it was a dream come true," he said.

As the mascot, Hancock was able to go with the team to the Super Bowl XXI in Pasadena, Calif. The mayor will be attending the Super Bowl again this year to support his city's team with his 75-year-old mother.
