John David Booty talks about life after football and overcoming health challenges
JD Booty is easily researched. He's a 2x Rose Bowl Champion (and Rose Bowl MVP) and former NFL Quarterback.
However, there’s a story to JD Booty that most people don’t know.
It’s a story of trials and tribulation and faith… and it’s a good one (and it’s not done).
Thank you, JD, for sharing.
