ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (CBS4) - Broncos first round draft pick Garett Bolles got a heartfelt video message from his family.

Bolles had a troubled youth, getting kicked out of his home and five schools as a teenager due to his skipping class, drugs, and other issues, including an arrest.

He worked as a garage repair technician for two years before going on an LDS Church Mission that turned his life around. That mission happened to be in Colorado.

"They made me who I am today," Bolles says in the video, tearing up as he talks. "I'm crying so much, but I love you Mom, and I love you Dad, and you guys mean the world to me."
