Denver Broncos

Bruton was selected in the fourth round (114th overall) of the 2009 NFL Draft by the Denver Broncos. Before the 2009 season, Bruton signed a four-year contract with Denver. Bruton made his first career start on December 20, 2009 against the Oakland Raiders where he recorded 4 tackles. Bruton finished his rookie 2009 season with 14 total tackles. During the lockout he has taken a job as a substitute teacher in Miamisburg Ohio.[3]

Bruton provides the Broncos with depth at the safety position, yet he is mostly used on special teams and is considered one of the best special teamers in the league. Bruton has been the Broncos' special teams captain for the 2013–2015 seasons.[4]

On March 11, 2013, Bruton re-signed with the Broncos on a three-year contract.[5]

On December 20, 2015, in a game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Bruton suffered a broken fibula early into the game. However, he refused to be taken out of the game and instead played through the rest of it. He was on the field for 77 plays with the broken leg before being taken off late in the fourth quarter.[6] The Broncos would go on to lose the game 34–27. Two days later, the Broncos placed him on injured reserve.[7]

On February 7, 2016, Bruton was part of the Broncos team that won Super Bowl 50. In the game, the Broncos defeated the Carolina Panthers by a score of 24–10.[8] However, he did not play in the game due to injury.

Washington Redskins

Bruton signed with the Washington Redskins on a three–year, $9 million contract on March 15, 2016.[9][10] He was placed on injured reserve on October 5, 2016.[11] He was released by the Redskins on December 2, 2016.[12]

Retirement

On July 24, 2017, Bruton announced his retirement from the NFL due to health concerns after suffering six concussions in eight seasons in the league.[13]
