Life After Football From My Knees with John David Booty

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.
