David Bruton, a former safety with the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, told ESPN today that he will retire from the NFL after eight seasons.
“I’m burnt-out, definitely worry about my health," Bruton, 30, told the network. “Another season was cut short by a concussion [in 2016] -- that’s six. I’m a guy who likes to use his brain. Especially back in school, I need as many brain cells as possible with all these science classes. It came down to health, and I’ve definitely had my time in the league. I’m ready to move on.
