ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Nasty teddybear—it sounds like an oxymoron or something out of a horror movie, but in fact, it’s the personality of the Broncos’ newest first-round pick, Garett Bolles.
The Utah native never lacked athletic ability, yet he didn’t live up to his football potential until 2016—when he played his sole season at the University of Utah. The reason? He lacked a major component in his life: love.
He didn’t find that love he needed to succeed in life, on or off the field, until he was 17 years old. Now, just seven years later, Bolles is shaped by the love he was given by his adopted family off the field, while maintaining a different personality on the field.
