ENGLEWOOD - Nick Kasa has made plenty catches in his life, but it was one drop that nearly derailed a great opportunity for the former University of Colorado tight end.

Out of football and working hard for another chance in the NFL, the 25-year-old Kasa found one at the most unlikely time when the Denver Broncos signed him to the practice squad on Monday.

Now he's heading to the Super Bowl with a chance for a championship ring.

"It's a freaking dream come true," he said Thursday after his first practice with Denver.
