Broncos safety David Bruton more experience than most players at speaking to a group of students.

During the 2011 offseason, Bruton worked as a substitute teacher in his hometown school district in Miamisburg, Ohio, teaching students in grades 1 through 12.

So when he was asked to serve as the keynote speaker at the YESS Institute Mentoring Year-End Celebration, it was a natural fit.

“Any time I can get in front of youth and deliver a message or teach it’s definitely great,” Bruton said. “It’s just something that I love to do.”

Bruton posed for pictures with the students and the student-mentors at the beginning of the event, which was held in the United Club East Level at Sports Authority Field at Mile High.
