In this episode of “This Is Purdue,” we’re talking to former Purdue University and NFL quarterback Kyle Orton.

Listen as Kyle (BA history '14) discusses how former coach Joe Tiller and quarterback Drew Brees inspired him to choose Purdue, the anticipation and doubt he felt during the 2005 NFL draft, and how Purdue prepared him for life after football. 

Plus, you don’t want to miss the story behind why this devoted husband, father and son was determined to finish his degree at Purdue after retiring from the NFL.  

Kyle's persistence both on and off the field is a true example of what it means to be a Boilermaker.
