Update on David Bruton

by Doc Bear on Nov 12, 2009 10:50 PM MST

David was kind enough to contact us regarding his son - and the proper spelling is Jaden (I take that mistake on myself). Jaden, as some asked, just turned 4. David wanted us to have a picture of Jaden and himself. Contrary to the article I cited, David has his son's name on his right shoulder. We apologize for any misunderstanding, and appreciate David's continued contributions to the Broncos!

Bruton tells me that Jaden is a tall young man for his age. The photo proves it - Congratulations to the young man and his loving father.

Bruton

is another of the quality additions to the team. He embodies all of the things I look for in a Denver Bronco and no baggage. I love it that he follows the MHR. Thanks for the post bear.

Bruton is the man!!!

I’m glad you’re a Bronco and thrilled that you read MHR! Happy (belated) Birthday to Jaden. Good luck on Sunday, the rest of the year, and in your career. I’m looking forward to watching you in a Broncos uniform for many, many successful seasons to come.

GO BRUTON!!!

Sweet

my nephew’s name is Jaden, and he just turned 4 November 3, so that’s a neat parallel! Yes, Bruton you’re awesome. Glad to have you with us in Bronco Country!

Awesome.

Just look at the happy father and son. David Bruton is exactly the kind of person that fans, like us, can root for. What a great guy.

I think that's so awesome that David sent in a picture

It’s so so cool that he and Royal and hopefully others read this site, and hopefully get a feel for what the ‘real’ fans are thinking. Not the only fans, mind you, just the ones that bleed orange and blue and support the team no matter what. Unlike a lot of the posers in the DP who just seem to want to McD and the team to fail.

I feel like we can, in some small way, communicate with the players through this site, which is just amazing and something you’ll never get through the DP or MSM. Stoked to be here!!!

Go Broncos!!!

a little early to call...

but so far he seems very worthy of that number.

thankfully we won’t have to deal with that guy for much longer

A truth can only be expressed and enveloped in words if it is one-sided. Everything that is thought and expressed in words is one-sided, only half the truth; it all lacks totality, completeness, unity.

I don't get it...

I guess superchamp woke up on the wrong side of the bed, he usually is full of decent constructive criticism like most fans here… I can understand voicing your frustration in a play in which Bruton got beat in goal line by “The NFL’s Dirtiest Player” Hines Ward, but I don’t understand lashing out against him and just being downright racist…

Oh well on a lighter note, I have liked what I’ve seen this season from McBath and Bruton and hope that they both can meld themselves into top tier safeties like their mentors.

These posts will be gone soon enough, don’t call more attention to them.

Thats a good call.....the comments still need to be off the thread though....for his sake as well if that is the case!

by boydy2669 on Nov 13, 2009 10:10 AM MST up reply actions

Agreed... I just checked out a few of his older posts

And it sounds like a totally different person. He might have his computer remember his MHR login (like mine) and then maybe a younger brother or someone is messing around.

Regardless though, let’s clean up these comments, please.

David, if you read this

Please note that the negative comments seen here are not shared by 99% of the folks on this site. I personally have spoken to you and think that you are an asset to the Broncos and the Human Race.

Thanks David B

for sharing the photo and for being such a great dad! I know it can’t be easy to be a young dad and traveling and trying to learn in the NFL while raising a kid but you’re obviously doing it right. Thanks again.

Wonderful

I think this article is great. Many of us tend to think that football isn’t that hard at all but I’m sure it is. To find time in between film study, weight training and learning to be a model citizen in the NFL (I’m sure you’ve had your share of requests Bruton!), to see that photo of your son and you, priceless. May continued success find you and your family.

Hey MHR. ND fan here. How has Bruton been doing? Has he seen the field much? thanks

by TheRealSlimShady on Nov 13, 2009 3:23 PM MST reply actions

he's been one of our gunners

Opposite Barret, I think, and he has been great there, tied for fourth on the team with 5 special teams tackles. I believe he also saw a few plays when Dawkins was shaken up, but I think McBath got most of those snaps. His special teams contributions are great, and right now it is a good sign that Dawkins and Hill have seen almost all the reps, that means they have both stayed healthy; Bruton is learning from some of the best and should be our future at safety.

Bruton is another player I like a lot. Pretty much every time I see him out there, he’s playing his butt off. Effort is underrated, you know. I hope he wears the blue and orange for a long, long time.
