Pat Surtain II, a standout player for the Denver Broncos, has recently garnered attention for his significant contributions off the field. Known for his exceptional play on the football field, the star cornerback has also devoted time to giving back to the local community.
On a recent day off, Pat Surtain II visited George Washington High School to inaugurate the Pat Surtain Inspiration Room, a cutting-edge S.T.E.A.M (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) facility. This room aims to motivate students to delve into these disciplines and excel academically. Surtain expressed his satisfaction, stating, “It was meaningful for me to give back in a way that can have a lasting impact. The room turned out better than I expected.” The Inspiration Room is part of Surtain’s broader initiative to create opportunities for students in underserved communities.
The Pat Surtain II Foundation, led by the cornerback, has played a crucial role in these efforts. Last year, the foundation organized a Game Plan Pitch Day, where Title I high schools, including George Washington and Manual High, competed for grants to develop their S.T.E.A.M rooms. These grants, totaling $50,000 each, have provided students with access to advanced technology, significantly enhancing their educational experience.
Surtain’s outstanding performance last season, including 69 tackles and 12 pass breakups, has validated the Broncos’ investment in him. “It’s a tremendous honor to be recognized as the highest-paid defensive back,” Surtain remarked. “I’m thankful for the chance to keep contributing to this team and its future,” he added.
This contract extension solidifies the Broncos’ defense and demonstrates their commitment to building a top-tier team. With new head coach Sean Payton at the helm, the Broncos are preparing for a fresh start, featuring Bo Nix as their quarterback.
