Former Broncos and Redskins S David Bruton announced his retirement from the NFL on Monday after eight seasons in the league.

“I’m burnt-out, definitely worry about my health,” Bruton said, via ESPN.com. “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.

Bruton plans to work as a member of the Broncos’ training staff during the team’s training camp.
