This week on Sports Will Save Us All, Sasha is talking to the
extraordinary Dr. David Bruton Jr, former NFL safety and Super Bowl
50 champion with the Denver Broncos. But David is even more than a
football star—he’s a dynamic human with layers that go far beyond
the gridiron. From becoming a young father while balancing football
and pre-med studies at Notre Dame, to navigating the complexities
of the NFL locker room as a former sociology major, to pursuing his
Doctorate in Physical Therapy after his NFL retirement, David
shares how his diverse experiences have shaped who he is today.
In this candid conversation, David and Sasha talk about David’s NFL
journey, playing on a broken leg, the transition from football to a
career in physical therapy, and the deeply personal work he does
through his nonprofit, Bruton’s Books. David’s passion for
education and community outreach led him to become the 2015 Walter
Payton NFL Man of the Year, and now, ten years later, he’s
continuing to inspire others with his mission to help children
“learn to read and read to learn.”
