So what was Bradley's backstory?


I found the character really interesting but I feel like I missed something with his exposition. It hinted he was a boxer or something, and he clearly knows how to fight. He's also insanely patriotic. I'm assuming he was in the military, perhaps special forces, and had some other past they didn't elude to. I mean, he was the toughest, yet calmest, SOB I've seen on screen.

I remember reading that he was a former college football player known for his brutal hits on the field, but flunked out of college and instead resorted to boxing. He became a pretty success underground boxer but left due to injury. Later started pushing drugs, got clean after some legal scares, and became a repo man.
