Back to class for former Denver Broncos star

You might wonder why an NFL player keeps a full-size plastic human skeleton in the hallway of his home. For David Bruton Jr., a member of the Denver Broncos Super Bowl 50 team and now a student at CU Denver, “Fred the Skeleton” is a daily reminder that Bruton’s interest in medicine in general – and his own health in particular – will long outlast his desire to play football. In fact, concerned about the toll football was taking on his body, Bruton recently made a clear-headed decision to step away from the game he loves.
