Four former NFL players visited Fort Carson on Sunday afternoon to watch the Broncos take on the Patriots and offer advice to soldiers struggling with psychological issues and transitioning to civilian life.

Chris Sanders (of the Houston Oilers and Tennessee Titans), Freddie Scott (of the Atlanta Falcons and Indianapolis Colts), George Wrighster (of the Jacksonville Jaguars and New York Giants) and Jason Kaiser (of the Broncos, Kansas City Chiefs, Dallas Cowboys and Washington Redskins) came to the Mountain Post as part of the Real Warriors Campaign. The NFL Players Association partnered with Real Warriors to offer game day events at several military installations where former players give motivational support to soldiers.

"When they're playing, overseas in Afghanistan, Iraq, Africa or Korea or wherever our soldiers are at they're going to find time, even though the games are played at like 0400 in the morning, they're going to be watching those games," described Col. David Grosso, Fort Carson's Garrison Commander.
