He won a Super Bowl. He played with legends. He beat the odds.
But David Bruton Jr. didn’t stop winning when he left the NFL.
In this inspiring episode, former Denver Broncos team captain and Super Bowl 50 champion David Bruton Jr. shares how he transitioned from the NFL to becoming a Doctor of Physical Therapy and founder of the literacy nonprofit Bruton’s Books.
We dive into:
The game that saved his NFL career
The teammates who taught him how to lead on and off the field
Why he walked away from football after multiple concussions
How he's helping injured athletes recover—physically and mentally
The mission behind Bruton’s Books and why literacy matters
What “thriving” really looks like after the spotlight fades
David's story proves that life after the NFL isn’t the end—it’s just the beginning.
