Ronald Barry Egloff (born October 3, 1955) is a former American football tight end, who played eight seasons in the National Football League (NFL) for the Denver Broncos and San Diego Chargers. He started his sports career at Plymouth-Salem High School in Plymouth, Michigan. Egloff played and received his varsity letters for football and basketball from 1970-73. He was not recruited by a major university, so he was a "walk-on" and played college football at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. He went undrafted in the 1977 NFL draft, and visited several teams before landing a try-out with the Denver Broncos. For his rookie year, 1977–78, the Broncos won their first AFC Championship and went to Super Bowl XII in New Orleans against the Dallas Cowboys and lost, 27-10. After football, he was a partner in the restaurant Jackson Hole Sports Grill for twenty years. Ron is married to his wife Julee. They have three children: Dayton, Adam, and Elliott.
