KANSAS CITY, Mo. — As Dan Meers can tell you, it's not all fun and frivolity being an NFL mascot.
Meers, who plays KC Wolf for the Kansas City Chiefs, nearly lost his life on the job.
It happened Nov. 23, 2013, when Meers was practicing a stunt at Arrowhead Stadium for a game against the San Diego Chargers the next day. He was going to jump out of the lights at the top of the stadium on a bungee cord that would transition to a zip line carrying him safely down to the field. He was not in costume at the time.
