In this weekly feature, we’ll take a look at what Tech’s finest are up to since leaving the Institute. This week, we focus on Keith Brooking.
Keith Brooking’s football story played out like a kid’s dream: a Sharpsburg, Georgia product, Brooking was selected 12th overall by the Atlanta Falcons after a banner collegiate career at Georgia Tech. He would lead the Falcons defense for over a decade and not leave the state to play football until his 12th year in the NFL, becoming a middle linebacker for the Dallas Cowboys and Denver Broncos before retiring in 2013.
