Bruce Matthews

Bruce was the first-round pick in 1983 for the Houston Oilers. He was later selected as guard on the NFL’s All-decade team of the 1990s. Bruce’s NFL career spanned 19 seasons with 296 games played, he had nine All-Pro selections with 14 consecutive Pro Bowls, and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2007. His number 74 jersey is retired by the Tennessee Titans. Bruce considers the privilege of serving men on their spiritual journey to be more important than any of his impressive accomplishments. Bruce and his wife, Carrie, have seven children.
