Broncos

Entering his ninth season, 33-year-old Broncos LT Garett Bolles wants to continue playing until the age of 39. He also mentioned becoming more aware of taking care of his body as his career continues to progress.

“I think my passion at a young age, I just wanted to put everyone in the dirt all the time,” Bolles said, via BroncosWire.com. “Now I think it’s more sexy to stay in front of somebody and block them with your feet and hands. The reality is, [if] you want to be the best tackle in the league, you talk about some of the greats — that’s what they did. They stayed in front of the guy. They moved their feet and they played a long time.”

“I also think it comes to taking care of your body and knowing what you’re going to put in,” Bolles added. “You’re not going to put bad gas in a Ferrari or a Lambo. You’re going to put in the best gas. 91, 95 octane. That’s just what it takes. When you get older, you have to focus on the little things. That’s eating right, that’s sleeping right, that’s training and just getting disciplined in everything you do. The game’s the same. The speed’s the same. I’m more confident in that, but when it just comes to taking care of your body and making sure you’re doing everything right, which we do a really good job here, I can play as long as I can.”
