Rise Up: The Dalton Risner Story - Part 2

When Kansas State All-American offensive lineman Dalton Risner was asked by a prospective NFL team what his priorities would be as a professional football player, he responded, “Jesus Christ, family, and football,” in that order. On today’s edition of Family Talk, the star athlete, who has found a home with the Denver Broncos, says that he puts his faith over fear. He even has some of his favorite Bible verses tattooed on his arms, including Psalm 37:5, which says, “Commit your way to the Lord.” Risner’s desire is to use the NFL platform to spread God’s Word through love and kindness.

About Today's Guest: Dalton Risner

Raised in Wiggins, Colorado, Dalton grew up on a family farm with his four brothers and his mom and dad. His involvement at an early age in the lives of friends and neighbors in the community helped shape him into a service-oriented Christian and leader. He received a football scholarship from Kansas State University where he played from 2014-2018. While there, he was named a 2018 First Team All-American, Big 12 Offensive Lineman of the Year and a Lombardi Award Finalist.
