Denver Broncos safety David Bruton Jr. spends his offseason climbing and descending Colorado's toughest roads and trails.

Football conditioning may call to mind suicide runs in blazing heat and long hours in the weightroom, but for at least one member of the Super Bowl-bound Denver Broncos, training actually looks a lot like yours. As it turns out, safety David Bruton Jr. is one of many NFL players who rides bikes to take his fitness to the next level.

Bruton is one of the most enthusiastic cyclists in the League: He's a common sight on Colorado's longest road climbs, commutes to practices, and often hits the bike park. He loves riding so much he has a tattoo of a road bike on his calf with Colorado's iconic "C"s for its wheels. He won’t be taking to the field Sunday thanks to an unfortunate broken leg that he sustained in December, but even that didn't stop Bruton from delivering bikes to the Boys and Girls Club in Denver over the holidays.
