David Bruton Jr is no stranger to adversity. After eight seasons in the NFL and a long list of football-related injuries, he’s using the skills he learned playing professional sports to forge a new kind of physical therapy practice: one with the good vibes of an NFL locker room.
The physical space is just one way David is doing things differently. In this episode, he tells Denzil about some unexpected choices he’s made, the failures he’s faced, and how his experimentation resulted in something incredible.

As a former NFL veteran, David spent eight years on the gridiron, with seven of those years dedicated to the Denver Broncos, culminating in a thrilling Super Bowl 50 Championship victory. His journey began at the University of Notre Dame, where he honed his skills both on the field and in the classroom, laying the foundation for his future endeavours.
After David’s NFL career, he pursued higher education with the same determination, earning a Doctorate in Physical Therapy from the University of Colorado in 2021. But his commitment to making a difference didn't end there. He founded Bruton's Books in 2015, a literacy foundation aimed at supporting young readers in the Denver Public Schools system, channelling his passion for education into meaningful community impact.
Off the field, David finds joy in cycling, relishing the freedom of the open road. And when he’s not on two wheels, you can often find him lost in the pages of a good book, fuelling his curiosity and expanding his horizons. But above all, his greatest joy comes from spending time with his family, cherishing every moment they share together.
